Matthew 27:38: Number'd with the transgressors. Thee
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Number'd with the transgressors. Thee,
Betwixt the felons crucified.
Coming again we soon shall see
The good and evil to divide.
To' assign their states unchangeable
In joys of heaven, or pains of hell.
I see Thee now to sinners join'd.
That sinners may Thy life partake,
That I may Thy salvation find,
And pardon'd for Thy passion's sake.
Be number'd with Thy saints above,
To' adore the depths of dying love.
