159. All Things That God or Man Could Wish

C.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
All things that God or man could wish,
 
In Jesus richly meet;
 
Not to our eyes is light so dear,
 
No earthly tie so sweet.
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26)
2
Oh may His name still cheer our hearts
 
And shed its fragrance there!
 
The sweetest balm of every wound,
 
The cure of every care.
