John 18:37: Jesus, King of righteousness
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Jesus, King of righteousness,
Thy people taught by Thee,
Bold before the world confess
Thy royal dignity:
Born for this alone we are,
And in Thy testimony join,
By our words and lives declare
The power of truth Divine.
God descended from the sky
And manifest within,
Thee the Truth we testify
Which makes us free from sin;
Thee our Life in life and death
Our real Holiness we praise,
Publish with our latest breath
The truth of love and grace.
