GOD, the offended God most high,

By A Collection of Hymns


      L.M. 2 Cor. v. 20.
      1 GOD, the offended God most high,
      Ambassadors to rebels sends;
      His messengers his place supply,
      And Jesus begs us to be friends.

      2 Us, in the stead of Christ, they pray,
      Us, in the stead of God, intreat,
      To cast our arms, our sins, away,
      And find forgiveness at his feet.

      3 Our God in Christ! thine embassy,
      And proffered mercy, we embrace;
      And gladly reconciled to thee,
      Thy condescending goodness praise.

      4 Poor debtors, by our Lord's request
      A full acquittance we receive!
      And criminals, with pardon blest,
      We, at our Judge's instance, live!
