No dazzling gifts or talents
Require our exultation,
But let us praise
Redeeming grace,
Which brings us sure salvation:
Jesus hath bought the pardon
For every true believer,
And wash'd in blood,
And born of God,
Our souls shall live for ever.

Judas might cast out devils,
And die a perjured traitor:
With faith sincere,
Who Jesus hear,
Our cause of joy is greater:
The rapturous name of Jesus
To ransom'd sinners given,
Pure joy imparts,
And tells our hearts
Our names are wrote in heaven.
