Vol 02 - The Savior-God

The Savior-God " Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever."-Hebrews 13:8.

Awake, my soul, to praise, Thou hast a rapturous theme! A subject, glorious and divine;

’Tis Christ-sing thou of him.

Come, and before his face, Low bow, with foot unshod; And with a thankful, happy heart, Adore thy Savior God.

Down to this earth he came, And loved, and wept, and died;

" Glory to God, goodwill to man!" His advent angels cried.

Divine, yet clothed in flesh, His own-made earth he trod.

He came to do the Father’s will- To be the Savior-God. That will accomplish’d, now He sits in heaven above, The Church’s representative,- Dear object of his love.

He bears the glory there, As here he bore the rod;

He died-yet lives for evermore, Victorious Savior-God! And soon He’ll come again, To take His church to heaven; That church, redeemed by precious blood,- By grace alone forgiven.

How loud her song will be!

How sweetly will she laud, Through one eternal, blissful day,- Jesus, her Savior-God.
