PART 2: SERMON XV. HYMN FOR SERMON XV. ARational Defenceof the Gospel. SHALL atheists dare insult the cross, Of our Redeemer God ? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood ? What ifhe chum mysterious ways, To cleanse us from our faults ? May not the works of sov'reign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts! What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self; and sin.? The prize is most divinely bright, Which we are call'd to win. Q Y 225 What if the foolish and the poor, His glorious grace partake ? This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. Do some that own his sacred name, indulge their souls in sin ? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clear. Then let our faith grow firm and strop Our lips profess his word Nor bldsh, nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord.
