Saviour of mankind, Man, Emmanuel! - George Sandys

 

Saviour of mankind, Man, Emmanuel!

Who sinless died for sin, who vanquished hell;

The first-fruits of the grave; whose life did give

Light to our darkness; in whose death we live:—

Oh! strengthen Thou my faith, convert my will,

That mine may Thine obey; protect me still,

So that the latter death may not devour

My soul, sealed with Thy seal.—So, in the hour

When Thou (whose body sanctified this tomb,

Unjustly judged), a glorious judge shall come

To judge the world with justice; by that sign

I may be known, and entertained for Thine.
