Here is the records of his grace,
God�s brightest glory shines;
Here mercy�s varied form we trace,
As drawn in crimson lines.
Whate�er the theme, in every page,
His wondrous love appears,
My swelling sorrows to assuage,
And calm my rising fears.
Here I can read with sweet surprise,
The victories Jesus won;
Learn how he crushed my enemies,
And brought salvation down.
This world with all its glories, now
Grows less in my esteem;
Its shining pomp and glittering show
Are but an airy dream.
To realms of bliss my thoughts aspire,
Where Jesus lives and reigns;
My soul looks up with strong desire,
And longs to break her chains.
