To Jesus the Mediator of the New Govenant 1 A Breach most sore there was between Poor Sinners Lord and thee Before the Fall nought then was seen But perfect amity 2 But Man by breaking thy just Law â—s now become thy Foe And as thou dost him loath and hate So he doth thee also 3 The carnal Mind is enmity Against the holy God And 〈◊〉 us all Lord naturally Like enmity abode 4 But thou in mercy and great love Through wisdom infinite Hast found a way wrath to remove And Sinners to unite 5 Unto thy self in lasting bonds Of precious grace and peace 'T is done by Christ our blessed Lord In him thy wrath does cease 6 He is that Days-man who lays hold On both that so he might Thee reconcile unto our Souls And us to thee unite 7 He brings thee Lord down unto us And carries us to thee And thus is he dear and precious Yea all in all is he Second Part. 1 Thy honour in Each Attribute He sought to glorifie Yet did his undertakings suit Our wants all to supply 2 In ev'ry thing to such degree Due glory thou dost gain And we relief unto the full Through him Lord do obtain 3 In him Justice and Mercy meet And gloriously do shine Both equally in splendour fit As both alike divine 4 As Mediator he was Lord Exactly qualify'd Most wise and just yet merciful That so he might divide An equal part in a right way Unto each party so God might be just yet Justifie And pardon Sinners too To God he is a Friend most dear Nay of so near a-kin His express Image he does bear Yet we may say agen To us he is related too Our nature he did take From hence he knew well what would do An equal peace to make Third Part. Lord thou wast the offended One Whom we had grieved sore Thou chose Christ to this work alone And cancell'd the old score In him thy Soul well pleased is Who did thy wrath appease â—is he who reconciles us too And does our burthens ease Such who accept of terms of peace As offered they be â—y Jesus Christ the breach will cease Between that Soul and thee 4 But if the terms refused are There will be no Appeal Allowed such at the last day They must thy vengeance feel 5 Come in ye Sinners then with speed O see to him you fly For he to you his hand must lend To slay that enmity 6 That 's in your heart 's which change he must If ever you receive Those terms which are agreed on Our precious Souls to save HYMN 18.
