Isaiah 48:11: To make Thy truth and goodness known
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
To make Thy truth and goodness known,
Thou wilt, for Thine own sake alone,
Forgive, and seal my peace;
Thou wilt for Thine own sake restore
The first domain, the' unsinning power,
The finish'd holiness.
Come then, that Thy great name may be
No longer vilified for me,
Mine evil heart remove:
The honour of Thy name retrieve.
And show the world how Christians live,
When perfected in love.
