The Man Blessed who Believes in Christ. John 14. 1-3
1
How blest is the man who in Jesus believes
 
And on him can cast all his cares;
 
A righteousness full and complete he receives,
 
That hides all his guilt, sin, and fears.
2
[No creature on earth is more happy than he,
 
Nor Gabriel himself is more blest;
 
He lives on the bounty of grace, rich and free –
 
A glorious, immortal repast.]
3
Whate’er be his lot, while on earth he resides,
 
His glory can never depart;
 
He’s one in the Lord, and in him he abides,
 
United together in heart.
4
The time is now fixèd, and soon it will come,
 
When Christ will his messenger send,
 
To fetch him from Meshech and carry him home;
 
And then all his sorrows will end.
