Glorying in Christ. Jer. 9. 23, 24; 1 Cor. 1. 31
J. Berridge S.M.
1
The sons of earth delight
To spread their fame abroad,
To glory in their worth and might;
But such are not of God.
2
The heavenly word declares,
And faithful is the word,
That Israel’s seed, the royal heirs,
Shall glory in the Lord.
3
In Jesus they shall trust;
From first to last each one,
Through Jesus, shall be counted just,
And boast in him alone.
4
Amen! the word is good:
My trust is in his name;
I have redemption through his blood,
And I will shout his fame.
5
[He hears my sad complaints,
And heals old wounds and new;
Hosanna to the King of saints;
His ways are just and true!
6
His worth I love to tell,
And wish the world to know;
And where the Son is honoured well,
The Father’s honoured too.]
