THE COVENANT OF HIS GRACE by CHARLES WESLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: JESUS CHRIST, WHO STANDS BETWEEN
Last Line: MAKES US PROPHETS, PRIESTS, AND KINGS.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Jesus Christ, who stands between
Angry heaven and guilty men,
Undertakes to buy our peace;
Gives the covenant of grace;
Ratifies and makes it good;
Signs and seals it with His blood.
Life His healing blood imparts,
Sprinkled in our peaceful hearts;
Abel's blood for vengeance cried;
Jesus speaks us justified;
Speaks and calls for better things;
Makes us prophets, priests, and kings.
