Jesus hath bought us with his blood, And he that bought us is the Lord, The governor supreme, the God Jehovah, by his works ador'd, The only governor supreme, The only God we praise in him. His true divinity, denied By an ungrateful world, we own, Who feel the blood divine applied, And sav'd by grace thro' faith alone, Shall soon behold his open face, And our eternal Saviour praise. "Unto HIM that is able to PRESENT you faultless before the PRESENCE of HIS GLORY ... to the ONLY WISE GOD our SAVIOUR." Jude 24, 25. "That HE might PRESENT it to HIMSELF a glorious church." Eph. v. 27. The only wise Almighty God Is able by his grace Us to present, in love renew'd Before his glorious face: And he whose promises are sure, Returning for his bride, Will to himself present us pure, And wholly sanctified. Jesus, who bought us with his blood, Who makes us pure in heart, The only wise, Almighty God, Our Saviour we assert: Page 32 The glorious presence is his own; And when the sight is given, Beholding Jesus on his throne, We reach our highest heaven. "The dispensation of the grace of GOD, which is given me to you-ward: how that BY REVELATION HE made known to me the mystery." Eph. iii. 2, 3. "I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but BY THE REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST." Gal. i. 12. God made known the mystery, The gospel of his grace, Call'd the messenger to see His God in Jesus' face: God by revelation gave The power to preach a dying God, Ministerial power to save Believers in his blood. "I receiv'd it not of man, Of man I was not taught; Jesus did himself explain The grace for sinners bought: Christ did to my heart reveal The welcome news of sin forgiven, News of joy unspeakable, And peace 'twixt earth and heaven." Every chosen instrument Ordain'd by the Most High, Every minister is sent Of Christ to testify: Lo, we preach his name abroad; Know all the truth in us reveal'd, Sinners by the blood of God Receive your pardon seal'd. Page 33 "THOU, even THOU ONLY KNOWEST the HEARTS of all the children of men." 1 Kings viii. 39. "All the churches shall know that I AM HE which searcheth the reins and HEARTS." Rev. ii. 23.
