John 13:27: How hopeless is a sinner's case
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
How hopeless is a sinner's case.
No more restrain'd by Jesus' grace
Left to the fiend alone.
The reprobate by God abhorr'd.
The slave with his indwelling lord
Is now for ever one!
Lest this my dreadful end should be,
My Saviour go not far from me;
Who hast my rescue been,
Still with Thy tempted servant stay.
And hedge about with thorns my way,
And hold me back from sin.
