OFFSPRING OF DAVID

Offspring of David all his right
Of kingly power is Thine:
Yet take the sceptre of Thy might
with rights that are divine!

ROOT OF DAVID

O Root of David, on God's throne
As Thy deserved reward
We bless Thee that it now is known
Why Thou art David's Lord.

THE SAME

Jesus Christ is the Same
In His Person and powers;
What a glorious Name:
Jesus Christ is the Same!
He who took all our blame
In those three dreadful hours,
Jesus Christ, is the Same
In His Person and powers.

Jesus Christ is the Same
In His grace and His love,
On this earth, where He came,
Jesus Christ is the Same;
From the cross in its shame
To the glory above,
Jesus Christ is the Same
In His grace and His love.

Jesus Christ is the Same
Since He is the I AM;
So in all He became
Jesus Christ is the Same;
Though the One we acclaim
Is our Passover Lamb
Jesus Christ is the Same
Since He is the I AM.

TEACHER

Wonderful Teacher, washing my feet,
Working to make my comfort complete,
Blessed example, making us trace
Gestures of mercy, touches of grace.

SAVIOUR

Glorious Saviour, Bearer of sins,
In Thee my life of glory begins:
For Thou hast saved from judgment and sin
Sought for my soul, and welcomed me in.

REDEEMER

Blessed Redeemer, dying for me,
Shedding Thy blood and setting me free.
Living in glory, coming again:
Thou art the Person worthy to reign.

THE LAST ADAM

Our life was moral death, and none could stir it
To answer to the God of love and light;
But the Last Adam is a quickening spirit
Who gave true life, and brought us out of night.

Our sin-bound souls required a liberator
To let us taste the grace God loved to grant;
We learn the blessings through the Mediator
As Spirit of God's better covenant.

 

MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT

God has a better covenant in in mind
With better promises, now consonant
With Thine own blood, and therefore less confined,
O Mediator of the covenant!

This covenant would be entirely new
Because the first man proved recalcitrant
And through Thy blood this blessing is in view
O Mediator of the covenant!

Through Thee, its spirit, it is always fresh,
A covenant which no one shall supplant,
Inscribed on tables not of stone, but flesh,
O Mediator of the covenant!
