L. Of the Love of Christ.
The love of Christ, poor I! may touch upon; But 'tis unsearchable. Oh! There is none It's large Dimensions can comprehend, Should they dilate thereon, World without end.
THe love of Christ, poor I! may touch upon; But 'tis unsearchable. Oh! There is none It's large Dimensions can comprehend, Should they dilate thereon, World without end.
When we had sinned, in his Zeal he sware, That he upon his back our Sins would bear. And since unto Sin is entailed Death, He vowed, for our Sins he'd lose his Breath.
He did not only say, vow, or resolve, But to Astonishment did so involve Himself, in man's distress and misery, As for, and with him, both to live and dye.
