Psalm: Keep innocency, and take heed, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Peace at the last! eternal peace
Thine only innocence can give:
Jesus, the Lord my righteousness,
My pardon I from Thee receive.
Thy blood, if Thou the faith bestow.
Shall fill my heart with purest love;
And hallow'd by Thy blood, I go
To live the glorious life above.
I trust, the works which Thou hast done,
The pains Thou didst for me endure,
The righteousness of God alone
Did my immortal bliss secure:
And when I bow my dying head.
Meet for a mansion in the sky,
My soul its eagle-wings shall spread.
And spotless to Thy bosom fly.
