Luke 10:20: I No dazzling gifts or talents
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
I No dazzling gifts or talents
Require our exultation.
But let us praise
Redeeming gi-ace,
AVhich brings us sure salvation:
Jesus hath bought the pardon
For every true believer.
And wash'd in blood,
And born of God,
Our souls shall live for ever.
Judas might cast out devils,
And die a perjured traitor:
With faith sincere,
Who Jesus hear,
Our cause of joy is greater:
The rapturous name of Jesus
To ransom'd sinners given,
Pure joy imparts.
And tells our hearts
Our names are wrote in heaven.
