His hand had made Its beauteous form; His breath had giv'n it life; Yet the high- favoured world had disobeyed, And man against his God stood up in strife. But God still " loved the world," and from His throne Looked forth in pity on the blood- stained star That once a very diamond had shone. Now it was veiled in darkness, and had wan- dered far. Yet God Btill " loved the world." " Christ Jesus came into the world." Christ " came into the world "— drew very near As if He would discern its true estate, And make the Father's loving heart appear Unto the rebels. Love divinely greatI He " came into the world" and received its curse, Trod its bare deserts, felt its deadly hate; Agolden sunbeam, bidding night disperse ; While in the gloom He sought the souls lost at its gate. Christ " came into the world." " The Spirit will reprove tho world of sin." The Spirit nearer comes and deigns to touch The inner world, reproving hearts of sin. And if the Father's love to us is much, And if the Son's descent our hearts should win, Shall we think little of the Spirit's love, Who condescends not to a world alone, But to a lifeless heart ? Heaven's holy dove, Making dead souls, amid a flood of sin, His own. He dwells upon our world. The world! It was the world the Father loved: It was the world to which the Saviour came: It is the world that stands to- day reproved Beneath the Spirit's power. The world— wide name! Loved, visited, and dwelt upon : and I Am part of this vast whole. God loves me, then: Christ comes to me: the Spirit dwelleth nigh.
