2 Samuel 24:25: David built there art altar unto the Lord, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Thou, O Christ, our altar art.
And Priest, and sacrifice.
Thou dost by Thy death avert
The vengeance of the skies:
Through Thy grand atonement, Lord,
We gain the pardoning grace Divine,
Scape the cherub's flaming sword.
And live for ever Thine.
