14-19 As when the Hebrew prophet rais’d
the brazen serpent high,
The wounded look’d, and straight were cur’d,
the people ceas’d to die:
2 So from the Saviour on the cross
a healing virtue flows;
Who looks to him with lively faith
is sav’d from endless woes.
3 For God gave up his Son to death,
so gen’rous was his love,
That all the faithful might enjoy
eternal life above.
4 Not to condemn the sons of men
the Son of God appear’d;
No weapons in his hand are seen,
nor voice of terror heard:
5 He came to raise our fallen state,
and our lost hopes restore:
Faith leads us to the mercy‐seat,
and bids us fear no more.
6 But vengeance just for ever lies
on all the rebel race,
Who God’s eternal Son despise,
and scorn his offer’d grace.
