Messenger of the covenant

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, commission'd from above Lyrics: 1 Jesus, commission'd from above, Descends to men below, And shews from whence the springs of love, In endless currents flow. 2 He, whom the boundless heaven adores, Whom angels long to see; Quitted with joy those blissful shores, Ambassador to me! 3 To me a worm, a sinful clod, A rebel all forlorn; A foe, a traitor to my God, And, of a traitor born; 4 To me, who never sought his grace, Who mock'd his sacred word; Who never knew, or lov'd his face, And all his will abhor'd! 5 To me, who could not even praise, When his kind heart I knew; But sought a thousand devious ways, Rather than keep the true. 6 Yet this redeeming angel came, So vile a worm to bless; He took, with gladness, all my blame, And gave his righteousness. 7 O! that my languid heart might glow, With ardour all divine; And for more love than seraphs knew, Like burning seraphs shine.
