39*. How Can We Sink With Such a Prop

C.M.
by I. Watts
1
How can we sink with such a prop,
 
As the eternal God,
 
Who bears the earth’s huge pillars up
 
And spread the heavens abroad?
2
How can we die if Jesus lives,
 
As risen from the dead,
 
Since life and grace our souls receive
 
In our exalted Head?
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” (2 Timothy 1:10)
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.” (Philippians 2:9)
3
All that we are, and all we have,
 
Shall be forever Thine;
 
And all a cheerful heart could give,
 
Our willing hands resign.
4
And could we yet make some reserve,
 
And duty did not call,
 
We love Thee, Lord, with such a love,
 
That we would give Thee all.
