[Superior to all fear and shame]
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for, &c.
—i. 16.
Superior to all fear and shame,
Entrusted with the gospel-word,
Through earth I glory to proclaim
The love of my redeeming Lord,
Which could so strange a method find
To save our lost, apostate kind.

Jehovah's co-eternal Son
Did in our flesh appear beneath,
He laid His life a ransom down,
For every man He tasted death,
To justify us by His blood,
And bring the sprinkled world to God.

Whoe'er the joyful news believes,
Pardon'd through instantaneous grace,
The saving power Divine receives;
And while on Christ his soul he stays,
He gains at last the perfect love,
And mingles with the saints above.
