Hymn 98

 Christ our wisdom, righteousness, etc.


1 Cor.
 1:30.
 

How heavy is the night
That hangs upon our eyes,
Till Christ with his reviving light
Over our souls arise!

Our guilty spirits dread
To meet the wrath of Heav'n;
But, in his righteousness arrayed,
We see our sins forgiv'n.


Unholy and impure
Are all our thoughts and ways;
His hands infected nature cure
With sanctifying grace.


The powers of hell agree
To hold our souls in vain;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain

Lord, we adore thy ways
To bring us near to God;
Thy sovereign power, thy healing grace,
And thine atoning blood.
