Another simple and earnest hymn of his is the following:
| Come, brethren, unite In holy delight, To praise our Belovèd--redemption's great Light: How sweet is the care His love to declare-- That He should our chastisement faithfully bear. | | Great God upon high, The Lord from the sky, He came as a Lamb without blemish, to die! While under the sun, Our duty is one-- To publish the merits and gifts of the Son. | | A poor man He came, Enduring our shame, To be our Redeemer--our Brother by name: Declare His renown, The rights of His crown-- His life for the sheep hath the Shepherd laid down! | | 28 His blood hath made peace, And brought us release; And now the old bondage for ever must cease: Who trust in His might He leads into light; Nor can any enemy break on His right. | |
