Death & Dying
On the Death of Thomas Beard, Hymn 26
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)
All glory, and praise To Jesus our Lord,
We witness His grace, And life-giving word,
Poor justified sinners His goodness we prove,
The weakest beginners In Jesus's love.
His love we proclaim, And publish abroad,
The blood of the Lamb Hath brought us to God:
He purchased our pardon, Who died in our stead,
The uttermost farthing Our Surety hath paid.
He died from all sin Our souls to redeem,
And we shall be clean, And sinless through Him,
The end of His passion Accomplish'd shall be,
And all His salvation We shortly shall see.
Then let us go on, Till Jesus appear,
And give us the crown Of righteousness here;
Till justified fully His promise we prove,
All happy, and holy, And perfect in love.
