From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Dying Friend of sinners, hear us,
Humbly at Thy cross who lie,
In Thine ordinance be near us,
Now the' ungodly justify;
Let Thy bowels of compassion
To Thy ransom'd creatures move,
Show us all Thy great salvation,
God of truth, and God of love.

By Thy meritorious dying
Save us from the death of sin,
By Thy precious blood's applying
Make our inmost nature clean;
Give us worthily to' adore Thee,
Thou our full Redeemer be;
Give us pardon, grace, and glory,
Peace, and power, and heaven in Thee.
