264. Thou Sit'st on High, Eternal Word

L.M.
by Morshead
1
Thou sit’st on high, eternal Word,
 
As Son of Man, as sovereign Lord,
 
And now by faith on Thee we rest,
 
Till all Thy title have confessed.
2
Thou hast our souls from sins made clean,
 
Thy Spirit gives us strength within;
 
Whilst Thou for us in all our need,
 
At God’s right hand dost ever plead.
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.” (Ephesians 3:16)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)
3
Oh keep us in the narrow way,
 
That ne’er from Thee our footsteps stray;
 
Sustain our weakness, calm our fear,
 
And to Thy presence keep us near.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:14)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” (Matthew 14:27)
“And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.” (Luke 10:39)
4
Oh be it thus till that blest day,
 
When God shall wipe all tears away;
 
Quickly, ’tis promised in the Word,
 
E’en so, Amen. Come quickly, Lord.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
