Verse 1
Who is as the Christian great!
Bought, and wash’d with sacred blood,
Crowns he sees beneath his feet,
Soars aloft, and walks with God.
Verse 2
Who is as the Christian wise!
He his nought for all hath given,
Bought the pearl of greatest price,
Nobly barter’d earth for heaven.
Verse 3
Who is as the Christian blest!
He hath found the long-sought stone,
He is join’d to Christ his rest,
He and happiness are one.
Verse 4
Earth and heaven together meet,
Gifts in him and graces join,
Make the character compleat,
All immortal, all divine.
Verse 5
Lo! his cloathing is the Sun,
The bright Sun of righteousness,
He hath put salvation on,
Jesus is his beauteous dress.
Verse 6
Lo! he feeds on living bread,
Drinks the fountain from above,
Leans on Jesu’s breast his head;
Feasts forever on his love.
Verse 7
Angels here his servants are,
Spread for him their golden wings,
To his throne of glory bear,
Seat him by the King of kings.
Verse 8
Who shall gain that heavenly height,
Who his Saviour’s face shall see?
I, who claim it in his right,
Christ hath bought it all for me.
