Jeremiah 6:16: Stand ye in the ways, and see, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Stand we in the good old way,
Who Christ by faith receive,
Heartily we must obey.
If truly we believe:
Other way can none declare
Than this from which we ne'er will move:
Saved by grace through faith we are,
Through faith that works by love.
Walking in this heavenly path
By saints and martyrs trod.
Freely justified by faith,
We now have peace with God;
Peace, unutterable peace!
The faithful fed it in their breast,
Then the rest of holiness,
And then the glorious rest!
