[That blood Divine had brought the grace]
Joseph . . . came, and went in boldly unto Pilate.
—xv. 43.
That blood Divine had brought the grace
Which fill'd his soul with power unknown,
And bold his Saviour to confess
He claims a God whom all disown,
A single champion in the cause
Of Jesus lifeless on the cross.
Which fill'd his soul with power unknown,
And bold his Saviour to confess
He claims a God whom all disown,
A single champion in the cause
Of Jesus lifeless on the cross.
Like him with confidence of love,
Love which excludes the servile fear,
I come my loyalty to' approve,
Boldly before the world appear,
Who did for me His life resign,
My Lord, I challenge Him for mine.
