Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, I sing thy matchless grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I sing thy matchless grace,
That calls a worm thy own;
Gives me among thy saints a place
To make thy glories known.
2 Allied to thee our vital head,
We act, and grow, and thrive:
Form thee divided, each is dead,
When most he seems alive.
3 Thy saints on earth, and those above,
Here join in sweet accord:
One body all in mutual love,
And thou, our common Lord.
4 O may my faith each hour derive
Thy spirit with delight;
While death and hell in vain shall strive
This bond to disunite.
5 Thou the whole body wilt present
Before thy Father's face;
Nor shall a wrinkle or a spot
Its beauteous form disgrace. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Head ; Christ Head of the Church Scripture: Ephesians 4:15-16 Languages: English
