Tasting that the Lord is gracious. 1 Pet. ii. 3
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Yes, it is sweet to taste his Grace, Who bought us with his Blood; My Soul prefers the Relish still To all created Good.
O how I love that vital Word, Which taught me first to live! Thirst for that uncorrupted Milk, That I may grow and thrive!
All gracious LORD, instruct us more Thy saving Gifts to know: And let our inmost Hearts rejoice, That thou hast lov'd us so.
Open thy Stores with lib'ral Hand, That we may daily feast; And let each dying Soul around The sweet Salvation taste.
