C.M. Matthew xii. 21.

1 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.

2 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.
