Free Grace in Revealing Christ. Matt. 11. 25, 26
1
Jesus, the Man of constant grief,
 
A mourner all his days;
 
His spirit once rejoiced aloud,
 
And turned his joy to praise:
2
“Father, I thank thy wondrous love,
 
That has revealed thy Son
 
To men unlearnèd; and to babes
 
Has made the gospel known.
3
“The mysteries of redeeming grace
 
Are hidden from the wise;
 
While pride and carnal reasonings join
 
To swell and blind their eyes.”
4
Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth
 
His great decrees fulfil,
 
And order all his works of grace
 
By his own sovereign will.
