Isaiah 45:17: Israel shall be saved in the Lord, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Thou, Jesus, of the chosen seed
The utmost Saviour art.
Of every Israelite indeed.
Of all the pure in heart:
Thy saints who every moment feel
The confidence of love,
While yet on earth, secure they dwell
Within Thine arms above.
Perfect in love which casts out fear
They for Thy coming stay,
And bold before Thy throne appear
that tremendous day:
Confounded, Lord, and put to shame
Thy church shall never be,
Saved by the virtue of Thy name,
For ever saved in Thee.
