What heavenly man, or lovely God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #513 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What mighty man, or lovely God, Comes marching downward from the skies? Array'd in garments roll'd in blood, With joy and pity in his eyes? 2 The Lord! the Saviour! yes, 'tis he! I know him by the smiles he wears! Dear glorious man that died for me, Drench'd deep in agonies and tears! 3 Lo! he reveals his shining breast, I own those wounds, and I adore; Lo! he prepares a royal feast, Sweet fruit of those sharp pangs he bore! 4 Whence flow these favours so divine? Lord! why so lavish of thy blood? Why for such earthly souls as mine, This heavenly wine, this sacred food? 5 'Twas his own love that made him bleed, That nail'd him to the cursed tree; 'Twas his own love the table spread For such unworthy worms as we! 6 Then let us taste the Saviour's love; Come, Faith, and feed upon the Lord: With glad consent our lips shall move, And sweet hosannas crown the board.
