Acts 26: Happy who for his conduct past

Happy who for his conduct past
Can to his foes appeal.
Foes that have seen from first to last
A life unblamable!
Who dares his warm accusers press,
What have ye found in me?
As touching legal righteousness
A perfect Pharisee /

Stripp'd of his rags, with double power
Witness to Christ he gives,
The God that all our sorrows bore,
And sinful men receives.
The promised Peace, Desire, and Hope
Of all our ransom'd race,
Who lifts despairing sinners up,
And saves a world by grace.
