The Perfections of Christ

“He is altogether lovely.”
— Song of Sol. 5:16

Yet sure, if in Thy presence
My soul still constant were,
Mine eye would more familiar
Its brighter glories bear:
And thus Thy deep perfections
Much better should I know,
And with adoring fervour
In this Thy nature grow.

“The Lord Jesus … is the summing up of all possible beauty and perfection in Himself.”
