HYMN XXIX. [As the 100 Psalm.] (Book 29)
ETernal Father, how Divine,How Noble is this Gift of Thine!That Thou shouldst send thy only Son,* 1.1Thy well-beloved, Holy One;* 1.2
The worthiest Object of thy Love,* 1.3To leave his Throne and Crown above.* 1.4To dwell with Mortals here below,And Death for them to undergo!
And Thou, Blest Saviour, who didst come* 1.5So freely from thy Heav'nly home,* 1.6To make thy Self a SacrificeFor thy unworthy Enemies▪
descriptionPage 38
How full of Wonder is thy Love!* 1.7That Thou shouldst kindly choose to moveFrom thy illustrious Palace, whereThe Heav'nly Host did Thee revere!
* 1.8Where Flaming Seraphs bow'd beforeThy Awful Scepter, to adoreThy Holy Holy Holy Name,And thy Perfections to proclaim:
That all this Glory Thou shouldst leave,* 1.9A Vail of humane Flesh receive,* 1.10To live in Grief and Misery,And after all to bleed and die!
* 1.11To die a Death the most accurst,* 1.12And of all Deaths the very worst;* 1.13To be with lingring Torments slain,Abus'd with Scoffs and vile Disdain!
And all for sinful Us, that we* 1.14Holy and happy too might be;And with Thee in thy Kingdom reign,* 1.15When Thou, dear LORD, shalt come again!
