1 Corinthians 15:9: A Sinner saved through Jesu's grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
A Sinner saved through Jesu's grace
Will never his past sins forget,
Or claim the most exalted place,
But humbled at his Saviour's feet
With deeper shame his vileness own,
And glory give to God alone.
If call'd his office to extol,
Himself he cannot magnify;
The Lord, he cries, be all in all,
A-sinner, and their chief, am I;
A Saul, a murderer forgiven,
Worthy of hell, I sink—to heaven.
