Matthew 12:18: Jesus, to Thee I cry
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Jesus, to Thee I cry.
The worst of heathens I:
Manifest the gospel-grace,
Peace and joy and love Divine,
Show my heart Thy righteousness
Made by implantation mine.
Thou only canst confer
The promised Comforter;
That Thou might'st to sinners give,
God on Thee His Spirit bestow'd
That with Thee I might receive
All the plenitude of God.
