Thou hast on me be­stowed,
Be the crowd the more, the less,
Be the crowd the more, the less,
Most odi­ous in Thy min­is­ters;
Thy atone­ment I re­ceive;
I can­not but love Him, so true is He;

Within the house of His de­light,
But Ju­dah shout, but Zi­on sing,
In judg­ment at our hands?

Believe and ob­ey, be­lieve and ob­ey;
Must count up­on the world­ling’s sneer;
God ex­alt­ed Je­sus Christ to the high­est place,
Our ho­ly Lord and king.

Praise ye the Lord.
That yet I am not good.
Do you show your co­lors, pil­grims, ev­ery­where?
Do you show your co­lors, pil­grims, ev­ery­where?
I no­thing have, I no­thing am;
Thee, my Lord, my right­eous­ness.
My life, my Lord and my right­eous­ness!
Lost ma­ny a time, I had no guide,
Yea, in His place of ho­li­ness

That all was spent in vain
The storm our sins had raised t’ap­pease,
But Thou who didst the shock be­gin,
And rea­dy par­don found.
All na­tions shall be blest in Him,
