Love Lustres at Calvary

4/7/2020

From the Valley of Vision, a collection of Puritan prayers:

Our Father,
Enlarge our hearts, warm our affections, open our lips,
    supply words that proclaim “love shines at Calvary”
There grace removes our burdens and heaps them upon your son,
  made a transgressor, a curse, and sin for us;
There the sword of your justice smote the man, your fellow;
There your infinite attributes were magnified,
  and infinite atonement was made;
There infinite punishment was due
  and infinite punishment was endured.
Christ was all anguish that we might be all joy,
        cast off that we might be brought in,
        trodden down as an enemy that we might be welcomed as friends
        surrendered to hell’s worst that we might attain heaven’s best
        stripped that we might be clothed
        wounded that we might be healed
        thirsty that we might drink
        tormented that we might be comforted
        made a shame that we might inherit eternal glory
        entered darkness that we might have eternal light
My Savior wept that all tears might be wiped from our eyes
        groaned that we might have endless song
        endured all pain that we might have unfading health
        bore a thorned crown that we might have a diadem of glory
        bowed his head that we might lift ours up
        experienced hatred that we might receive welcome
        closed his eyes in death that we might gaze upon unclouded brightness
        died that we might forever live
O Father, who spared not his only son that you might spare us
All this transfer your love designed and accomplished
Help us to adore you by lips and by life
O that our every breath might be ecstatic praise
  Our every step buoyant with delight as we see
        Our enemies crushed
        Satan baffled, defeated, destroyed
        Sin buried in the ocean of reconciling blood
        Hell’s gates closed, heaven’s portal opened
Go forth, O conquering God, and show us the cross
  mighty to subdue, comfort, and save
