'Tis from the treasures of his word

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 'Tis from the Treasures of his Word I borrow Titles or my Lord; Nor Art nor Nature can supply Sufficient Forms of Majesty. 2 Bright Image of the Father's Face, Shining with undiminish'd Rays; Th' Eternal God's Eternal Son, The Heir and Partner of his Throne. 3 The King of Kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own Name upon his Thigh; He wears a Garment dipt in Blood, And breaks the Nations with his Rod. 4 Where Grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injur'd Love, Awakes his Wrath without Delay, And Judah's Lion tears the Prey. 5 But when for Works of Peace he comes, What winning Titles he assumes? Light of the World; and Life of Men; Nor bears those Characters in vain. 6 With tender Pity in his Heart, He acts the Mediator's Part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the Name he wears. 7 At Length the Judge his Throne ascends, Divides the Rebels from his Friends, And Saints in full Fruition prove His rich Variety of Love.

His name is Wonderful indeed; An able Counsellor, to plead, Just suits a case like theirs.] 3 [Immanuel! thrice-blessèd name! The God we trust is still the same! An endless Father, He; A most illustrious Prince of Peace; A Tower, a precious Hiding-place, Is Jesus Christ to me.] 4 [Yes, if his name be Lord of Hosts, Of his almighty power I’ll boast; He all my foes shall quell; He’s all the helpless soul can need; No ointment put on Aaron’s head, Could give so sweet a smell.] 5 In him the Gentile church shall trust; Of him shall sing; of him shall boast; On him cast all their care; He is their God, and they shall know What his almighty power can do, Nor death, nor danger fear.
