Sinners Married to Christ. Rom. 7. 4; Jer. 3. 14
1
My soul with holy wonder views
 
The love the Lord the Saviour shows,
 
To wretched, dying man;
 
So strange, so boundless is his grace,
 
He takes the vilest of our race
 
With him to live and reign.
2
He’ll charm them with a holy kiss,
 
And make them know what union is;
 
He’ll draw them to his breast;
 
A smiling eye upon them cast,
 
Which brings them to his feet in haste,
 
Each singing, “I am blest!
3
“I’m blest, I’m blest, for ever blest;
 
My rags are gone, and I am dressed
 
In garments white as snow;
 
I’m married to the Lord the Lamb,
 
Whose beauties I can ne’er explain,
 
Nor half his glory show.”
