PERFECTION.

O Man! God's Man; Thou peerless Man!

Jesus, my Lord! God's Son:

Perfection's perfect in its height,

But found in Thee alone.

Of Abba's love — of God's great claims —

Thou com'st not short at all;

Perfect in everything art Thou

Alone, since Adam's fall.

O matchless, peerless Man! shall we

Begrudge to Thee this praise?

Perfect alone, Thou cam'st in love,

To glory us to raise.

Peerlessly spotless Man! 'twas Thou

The wrath did'st bear for me,

Peerlessly righteous Man! I'm made

God's righteousness in Thee.

Peerlessly glorious Man! how soon

Shall I be like to Thee?

Thy very glory then reflect,

Thy perfect beauty see.
