Religion
Believers, —this the glorious Name
From Parish Musings (1863)
Believers, —this the glorious Name
Which we may meekly bear,
For which we scorn reproach and shame,
And death itself should dare.
Believers in the Word of God,
And in His Only Son,
Believers in His precious blood,
And in the Heaven it won.
Believers — once depraved and lost,
But now by grace restored,
Believers in the Holy Ghost
That leads us to the Lord.
Believers — therefore heirs of life,
Believers — therefore blest,
Believers — therefore in the strife
Of worlds secure of rest.
Believers — this the glorious Name
The Saviour's love hath given,
Oh may we keep it free from shame
Until we enter Heaven!
