That blood Divine had brought the grace

Verse 1
That blood Divine had bought the grace
Which fill’d his soul with power unknown,
And bold his Saviour to confess,
He claims a God whom all disown,
A single champion in the cause
Of Jesus lifeless on the cross.

Verse 2
Like him, with confidence of love
(Love which excludes the servile fear)
I come my loyalty t’ approve,
Boldly before the world appear,
Who did for me his life resign,
My Lord, I challenge him for mine.
