Glorying in Christ. Jer. 9. 23, 24; 1 Cor. 1. 31

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.]
