ON FREE GRACE.
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind.
14 L. M.
Grace, justice, and truth harmonized.
1 | NFINITE grace! and can it be
1 That heaven supreme should stoop so low
To visit one so vile as I,
One who has been its bitt’rest foe?
2 Can holiness and wisdom join
With truth, with justice, and with grace.
To make eternal blessings mine,
And sin, with all its guilt erase ?
3 O love! beyond conception great;
That formed the vast stupendous plan
Where all divine perfections meet,
To reconcile rebellious man.
4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze
And justice all her rights maintains;
Astonished angels stoop to gaze,
While mercy o’er the guilty reigns.
5 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too,
In Christ harmoniously they meet;
He paid to justice all her due,
And now he fills the mercy-seat.
15 C. M.
.-1 dark though gracious providence.
L THY way, O God, is in the sea,
’ Thy paths I cannot trace,
Nor comprehend the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.
