"Christ of God"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Luke 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

"Christ of God"

1. The church triumphant round the throne,
Redeem'd with precious blood;
In scenes of glory here unknown,
Adore the Christ of God.

2. The church on earth, renew'd by grace,
Confide in Jesus' name;
And as they run the heav'nly race,
The Christ of God proclaim.

3. My soul shall gaze upon His face,
In whom all glories shine;
This precious truth just suits my case,
The Christ of God is mine.

4. Soon I shall join the heav'nly throng,
And in their pleasures share;
Shouting in one eternal song,
The Christ of God is there.
