Matthew 11: Jesus, Thou art the' Anointed One
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Jesus, Thou art the' Anointed One,
The Saviour sent for man to' atone
And bring us back to God:
Thou know'st I for no other look
Than Thee, who all my sins hast took,
And bought me with Thy blood.
Who camest self-emptied from the sky.
Sinners to save and sanctify.
My full salvation be,
My sickly, dying spirit heal,
And all Thy work in me fulfil.
And take me up to Thee.
