Christology Reign of God Universal Redemption
Then let me see my Saviour's face, Then let me on those beauties gaze Which angels fall before, And feasting on the rapturous sight, With all the dazzled sons of light Eternally adore! "Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Heb. xiii. 4. Sinner, thy lost condition see! Thy lot among the goats shall be Unless thou judge thyself, and know Thy merit is eternal woe, Unless thou hate those foul desires, Which rouze the everlasting fires, And groan beneath the curse of God, And plunge in the all-cleansing blood! "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." Heb. xiii. 8. The same I yesterday did prove I find to-day, that God is LOVE: And such as thou art now to me, Jesus, thou wilt forever be. "We seek a city to come." Heb. xiii. 14. A city we seek from above, Our proper and permanent home, From whence we shall never remove, An heavenly city to come: And while we are travelling on, The King of the place we shall spy, And mount, as the city comes down, And meet in the midst of the sky. Page 377 "Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, thro' the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen." Heb. xiii. 20, 21. O God of peace, and pard'ning love, Thy bowels of compassion move To every sinful child of man; Jesus our shepherd great and good, Who dying bought us with his blood, Thou hast brought back to life again: His blood to all our souls apply; His only blood can sanctify, (Which first did for our sins atone) The covenant of redemption seal, The depths of God, of LOVE, reveal, And speak us perfected in one.
