Hosea
Оглавление(From Hosea and Romans 9–11)
He loved her, and He married her,
Though she would faithless prove to be.
He took her for His own again
In matchless grace and mercy free.
Those that rebelled were not His own,
No mercy could for them be found,
But He redeemed them for Himself
And made them stand on holy ground.
Not only Jews, but others too,
A wild olive’s fruitless tree,
Engrafted into covenant
That unto Him their fruit should be.
And God shall plant her in her place
Where she shall grow forever more.
What love is this bestowed upon
The weak and wicked, vile and poor?
Blest be the faithful God of Grace,
Beyond imagination kind,
Who paid Himself the awful price
That He His wand’ring ones might find.
