His Mighty Love.

By Frances E. Bolton

(Dan. 9 : 26, 27.)

These words can be sung as duet for soprano and alto to that beautiful melody, "O Morning Land" in Gospel Hymns (Moody and Sankey).

IN holy vision long ago The prophet saw the Saviour's wo, When Christ the Lord for you and me Was nailed to the accursed tree; When on His brow He wore the crown Of many a sorrow, many a thorn, To banish all of sin and night, And bring in everlasting right; When on His heart He bore the race, And died for all at Calvary's place, That we might ever with Him be Exalted in eternity; O mighty love! O mighty love!

Before the prophet's eyes there rose The vision of the Saviour's woes,— The path of grief His feet have trod, Thou the beloved Son of God. And one with man in pitying love The majesty of heaven above, "Cut off," He saw the Saviour die "The law of God to magnify." To save a lost and rebel race He came to die at Calvary's place; He shed His blood to make atone That we with Him might have a throne. O mighty love! O mighty love!

Shall we unmoved behold His pain? For us shall Christ have died in vain? Shall we refuse to let His light Drive from our hearts sin's weary night? O by the cross of death He bore, And by the crown of thorns He wore, O, by the love that led Him down From heaven's light and love and crown, Let us the Saviour magnify, And daily unto self-love die, And at His pierced feet bow low To love the Christ who loved us so! O mighty love! O mighty love! FRANCES E. BOLTON.
