“My soul shall make her boast in the LORD." Ps. 34: 2.
O LORD, in nothing would I boast,
Save in Thy glorious name;
Though in myself I'm vile and lost,
In Thee all fair I am.
I folly am-Thou "Wisdom" art;
I'm sinThou, "Righteousness;”
Polluted is this worthless heart,
But Thou art "Holiness.”
Of sin and Satan once the slave,
My chains were burst by Thee;
In Thee I full "redemption" have,
For Thou hast set me free.
I '11 glory, only in Thy name,
O'er sin, and death, and hell;
I'll own my guilt, confess my shame,
But Thy salvation tell.
And when I stand before the throne,
And in Thy glory shine,
Still in Thy name I'll boast alone,
For all the praise is Thine.
