Text: | Christ and his Church |
Author: | W. Gadsby |
1 The Father, in eternal love,
His heart upon Zion did set;
Her name he enrollèd above;
Nor will he fair Zion forget,
He chose her in Jesus his Son,
And gave her to him for a wife;
Who freely accepted the same,
Though knowing she’d cost him his life.
2 He saw her polluted with sin,
Enveloped in debt and distress;
Determined her heart he would win,
Engagèd to save her by grace,
He took all her debts and her woes,
And for her was surely made sin;
He fought and he conquered her foes,
And with him she shall live and reign.
