Now, freed from the bondage of hell and destruction, Fly forth to the comfort of all in distress; And tell, for the rescue of lost dying sinners, His all-healing mercy and pardoning grace! By the light of the face of the Lord of such glory, With the flames of his love kindled up in thy heart, Go, tell in Decapolis Jesus' sweet story, Fly swiftly the Life of such Love to impart ! ALIVE TO GOD ETERNALLY. FOR the reign of Heavenly Peace! Absorbed in Love Divine through Thee, O thus may I in Jesus rest, His Love Divine within my breast, THE LIFE OF LOVE DIVINE ON EARTH. 329 That, crucified to self, and dead, But made alive in Christ, my Head, I dead indeed to sin may be, Alive to God eternally. THE LIFE OF LOVE DIVINE ON EARTH. DEAR Lord! to live this life of Love, Shall bring us all to heaven above. Our souls, renewed by Thy blest Word, Thine own indwelling makes our heaven; By thine own gracious Spirit given, In likeness of such Love divine. Thy love can make a heaven on earth, The treasure of eternal worth. Thy life below of perfect Love Is that which makes our Heaven above; THE DEATH OF CHRIST OUR ONLY PLEA. GOD, my Redeemer, set me free In Heaven's Eternal liberty! Teach me to trust alone in Thee. BLOSSOMING AND BEARING FRUIT. IN a world so full of beauty, Why am I a barren thing? By the Law of Truth and Duty, I too should be bearing fruit. Fruit for whom but Him who made me, For the glory of my Saviour, Through Eternity to shine. Such the Law, the Life, the Reason, Of mine immortality; Such the seed, the fruit, the season, For perfection, given to me. Oh Thou Merciful Creator! Of a treasure so divine, Take me, love me, new create me, Seed and fruit forever Thine! |
