Where's now thy boasted pow'r and might? We feel no more the dread remorse, Nor can thy terrors us affright. 6 Glory to our incarnate God! We're sav'd in him, the work is done; He leads us, by the Saviour's blood, Up to the glories of his throne. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament
