Matthew 18:3, 313: Our Saviour's goodness we adore
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Our Saviour's goodness we adore,
Who pays the debt He never owed,
While by an act of sovereign power
His greatness pays it, as a God.
The condescending grace Divine,
The mind of Jesus who receive,
Their rights into His hands resign.
And by His meek example live:
O could I gain His liberty,
O could I His obedience prove.
By faith from every creature free.
But subjected to all by love!
