3 The carnal Mind is enmity Against the holy God; And in us all (Lord) naturally Like enmity abode.
4 But thou in mercy and great love, Through wisdom infinite, Hast found a way wrath to remove, And Sinners to unite
5 Unto thy self in lasting bonds Of precious grace and peace, 'Tis done by Christ, our blessed Lord, In him thy wrath does cease.
6 He is that Days-man who lays hold On both, that so he might Thee reconcile unto our Souls, And us to thee unite.
7 He brings thee, Lord, down unto us, And carries us to thee; And thus is he dear and precious, Yea, all in all is he.
