164 BAXTER's POEMS .- He intercedes from ,God with man, Cominunic'ating [life, light, J love t He intercedes for man with God, Presents our case [to him] above . . By him we have access to God, Through him God's now our [dearest] friend; To him our souls with quiet trust · [Inlife,j' at death we do commend. Glory be to the God of love, For [t!tese strange] miracles of grace ; Who sent a Saviour from above, And shews [to man] his pleased face. God's great works must be like himself, His pow'r by this [great world] we know; Wisdom and goodness equal it, · And [equal] wonders these must shew. Christ is the Lord of life and death, He '11 [t·aise and] judge the world at last . The just he '11 take to joyful bliss · The wicked [he] to hell [will] oast. Come, glorious Lord, in thee_we trust, The conqueror of [death and] hell, Receiye <;>ur souls, raise us from dust, In tzove and] joy with thee to dwell.
