173. God, in the gospel of his Son

1 God, in the gospel of his Son,
Makes his eternal counsels known;
'Tis here his richest mercy shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.

2 Wisdom its dictates here imparts,
To form our minds, to cheer our hearts;
Its influence makes the sinner live;
It bids the drooping saint revive.

3 Our rising passions it controls,
And comfort yields to contrite souls;
It brings a better world in view,
And guides us all our journey through.
