Hosea 12: Angel of covenanted grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Angel of covenanted grace.
The least oi Jacob's praying race,
To Thee, to Thee, for help I cry:
Thou seest my supplicating tears,
Thou hear'st the clamour of my fears.
While Esau and his host are nigh.
Jesus, Thy gracious nature tell.
Thy saving name in me reveal,
The torturing passion to remove,
To' expel what now Thou dost control,
Thy nature speak into my soul,
Thy favourite name of perfect love.
