The Stennetts of England - Joseph Stennett - Hymn Poems

To us our God his love commends

To us our God his love commends,
   When by our sins undone;
That he might spare his enemies,
   He would not spare his son;

His only son, on whom he plac'd
   All his delight and love,
Before he form'd the earth below,
   Or spread the heavens above,

He charg'd the darling of his soul
   To veil his glorious face,
To wear our mortal flesh, an see!
   The pains of human race;

Our sorrows and our sins to bear,
   Our heavy cross sustain
Upon a tree to bleed and die,
   That we might life obtain.

This life is hid its God with him,
   Who fell a sacrifice,
And dying conquer'd death for us,
   That we like hint might rise

For he soon triumph'd o'er the grave,
   And went to heaven again;
There intercedes, and thence will come:
   Among his faints to reign.

His word assures he'll quickly come
   Saints for his coming pray
The whole creation for it groans,
   Lord Jesus, come away.
