The Strength of Christ’s Redeeming Love. Song. 8. 5

1 Who is this fair one in distress,
  That travels from this wilderness;
  And, pressed with sorrows and with sins,
  On her beloved Lord she leans?

2 This is the spouse of Christ our God,
  Bought with the treasures of his blood;
  And her request and her complaint
  Is but the voice of every saint:

3 “O let my name engraven stand
  Both on thy heart and on thy hand;
  Seal me upon thy arm, and wear
  That pledge of love for ever there.

4 “Stronger than death thy love is known,
  Which floods of wrath can never drown;
  And hell and earth in vain combine,
  To quench a fire so much divine.

5 “But I am jealous of my heart,
  Lest it should once from thee depart;
  Then let thy name be well impressed,
  As a fair signet, on my breast.

6 “Till thou hast brought me to thy home,
  Where fears and doubts can never come,
  Thy countenance let me often see,
  And often thou shalt hear from me.”
