Matthew 12:21: His name is Jesus Christ the just
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
His name is Jesus Christ the just,
My advocate with God:
In Him alone T put my trust
Who bought me with His blood;
A sinner of the Gentiles!
My pardoning Lord embrace,
And on His only name rely
For all His depths of grace.
A sinner still, though saved I am,
And this is all my boast j
I hang upon a God, who came
To seek and save the lost:
The Object of my love and fear.
Who hath my sins forgiven.
Shall sink me into nothing here,
And lift me up to heaven.
