With mercy and with judgement
                             My web of time He wove,

                            And aye, the dews of sorry
                            We’re lustred with His love,
                           I’ll bless the hand that guided;
                          I’ll bless the heart that planned
                        When throned where glory dwelleth
                                In Immanuel’s land.

             O, I am my beloved’s           The bride eyes not her garment,
            And my beloved’s mine!              But her beloved’s face;
         He brings a poor vile sinner            I will not gaze at glory
           Into His “house of wine.”            But on my king of grace.
           I stand upon His merit—            Not on the crown He giveth,
             I know no other stand,            But on His pierced hand;
        Not e’en where glory dwelleth           The Lamb is all the glory
              In Immanuel’s land.                 Of Immanuel’s land.

         reflections on hymns, from time to time, after he has moved to Harpenden)
