True Christian Love
For truth Gods promiſes in him | 2 Cor. 1. 20. |
are all, yea, and Amen: | Rom. 5. 8. |
For Love, his Death for us a Proof, | |
ſufficient hath been. | |
For Juſtice, he can do no wrong, | |
for Mercy, there is none, | |
Or ſhall in Hell be, who have ſought | |
for Grace through him alone. | |
Moſt lofty and moſt lowly Mind, | Deut. 2. 31. |
moſt good and moſt ſevere. | 4. |
Moſt lovely, and moſt terrible, | Iſa 57. 15. |
do all in him co-here. | Mat, 11. 29. |
The meekeſt Lamb to all his Friends, | |
a Lion to his Foes. | |
He gives his Peace to all that comes, | |
wrath follows all that goes. | |
No Foe can ſtand before his Face, | |
no Fugitive can flee, | |
No lurking hole can hide from him, | Mal. 2. 2. |
his Eyes do all things ſee. | Pſal. 139. 8. |
Almighty all where preſent, though | 7, 10, 11, 12. |
his Body Heaven contain. | Rev. 4. 7. |
Eternal God, though he as Man, | Mat. 28. 20. |
Man's Property retain. | |
No robb'ry for his Majeſty | |
his Fathers match to be, | |
The FathersGod-head & the Sprit's, | |
and his are one all three. | |
Therefore when I do love the Son, | Phil. 2. 6. |
I love the Father too, | 1 John 5.7. |
And ſo the Sp'rit, who dwels in him, | |
to all I worſhip do. | |
He is the Tree of Life to me. | Gen. 3. 22. |
and ſo to all his own. | ibid. 24. |
