Matthew 1:21. "He shall save his people from their sins" Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in thee I find: Raise the fallen, chear the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind, Just, and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness, False, and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth, and grace. Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin: Let the healing streams abound, Make, and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art: Freely let me take of thee, Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity! Matthew i. 21. "He shall save his people from their sins." Jesus, in whom the Godhead's rays Beam forth with milder majesty, I see thee full of truth and grace, And come for all I want to thee. Wrathful, impure, and proud I am, Nor constancy, nor strength I have: But thou, O Lord, art still the same, And hast not lost thy power to save.
