Christ the True and Better Pt. 2 (Additional Original Lyrics for the Boswell/Papa/Getty Hymn)

Lyrics: Christ the True and Better Christ the true and better Noah not consumed by tide of death All his family spared from God’s wrath He was pleasing to the LORD Labored on while mocked and scorned All creation draws now near See the nations built up through Him Children go rebuild the land ********* Christ the true and better Joseph, pard’ning lord o’er all the land Blameless, yet thrown into the pit, tempted but He would not sin Satan schemed but God’s plan would hold See how scoffers kneel and bow Seated now at God’s right hand and All abound now while He reigns ********* Christ the true and better Judah, he a willing substitute He who cried to take my place and bear the father’s wrath for me He was promised a seat forever, see how now that king has come He The chosen of the LORD and He a lion with blood washed robes ****** Christ the true and better Joshua, Leader in the Promised Land Purger of iniquity and giver of inheritance Tell of his work to your children, raise ye an ebeneezer Faced with danger, but trusted God ‘neath his feet lay all his foes ***** Christ the true and better Josiah, mighty king since a wee lad Purger of the temple’s idols, Law of God declared and kept A king like no one e’er before him, Shepherd for a wayward flock Toppled idols, scorned the priests, and hope in YHWH restored ***** Christ the true and better Job, afflicted, scorned, and betrayed Friends betray him, words like cruel asps testing came and none would pray Satan bit him on His great heel Used by God to shame the snake Body bruised, who heard from God, and now with treasures glorified ****** Christ the true and better Daniel, Faithful in a foreign land Fasted strong with faith in YHWH, See the nations plot in vain Spoke of all that would now soon pass Prophet Wisest in the land Sent to what man thought was His grave, He emerged that glorious day
