[His name is Jesus Christ the just]

In His name shall the Gentiles trust. —xii. 21.

His name is Jesus Christ the just,
My advocate with God:
In Him alone I put my trust
Who bought me with His blood;
A sinner of the Gentiles I
My pardoning Lord embrace,
And on His only name rely
For all His depths of grace.
A sinner still, though saved I am,
And this is all my boast;
I hang upon a God, who came
To seek and save the lost:
The Object of my love and fear,
Who hath my sins forgiven,
Shall sink me into nothing here,
And lift me up to heaven.
