Titus 2:14: Who gave Himself for us, that He might, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
T1s this must banish my complaints,
Must make an end of sin in me,
I grant it the faint-hearted saints,
That only death can set me free:
But whose shall purge my inbred stain?
The death of God, and not of man.
Believing the pure fountain flow'd,
To make my life and nature clean.
I seek redemption in Thy blood
From outward and from inward sin,
Whoe'er expect it from their own,
Jesus, I trust Thy death alone.
