Romans 8: Unless I have believed in vain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Unless I have believed in vain,
Thy blood shall purge my every stain,
Shall sanctify through faith sincere,
My body, soul, and spirit Aere.
Jesus, if such Thy saving name,
Jesus, in every age the same,
Assert Thy power, and truth, and love,
The numerous mountains to remove;
Up by its roots the tree to tear,
Our sins erase, our fall repair,
Thy welcome, perfect will make known,
And reign in faithful hearts alone.
