Mark 15: Joseph... came, and went in boldly Jinto Pilate

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

That blood Divine had brought the grace
Which fill'd his soul with power unknown,
And bold his Saviour to confess
He claims a God whom all disown,
A single champion in the cause
Of Jesus lifeless on the cross.

Like him with confidence of love,
Love which excludes the servile fear,
I come my loyalty to' approve,
Boldly before the world appear,
Who did for me His life resign.
My Lord, I challenge Him for mine.
