Unhurt, on snares and death I'll tread: Though sin assail, and hell, thrown wide, 2 O Lord, if mercy is with thee, Pour all its flames upon my head; Now let it unto me be shown; Like Moses' bush I'll mount the higher, And flourish, unconsumed, in fire. 1134 Doxology. 3 Fountain of unexhausted love, IMMORTAL, honour, endless fame, Of infinite compassion,-hear: Attend the almighty Father's Name: Who for lost man's redemption dierl; terpal Comforter, to thee!
