Acts 15:2: Ought we to yield and condescend

Ought we to yield and condescend,
When Pharisees the truth gainsay,
Or strenuous for the faith contend
Which others silently betray?
The truth opposed we boldly own
That all are saved by grace 'alone.

Who but the' apostles of the Lamb
Shall this important point decide?
They teach through faith in Jesus' name
Sinners are freely justified;
And the whole church this doctrine calls
The truth by which she stands or falls.
