[Let others of their virtue boast]

I will make mention of Thy righteousness only. —lxxi. 14.

Let others of their virtue boast,
And call it all their own,
I in the only merit trust
Of God's most holy Son:
The righteousness by Jesus wrought
Shall all my evil hide,
Till deep into my Spirit brought
It shows me sanctified.
