True Israelites we now believe

Verse 1
True Israelites we now believe
The promises of God to man,
His plenitude of grace receive,
His life reveal’d with Jesus gain,
And, when our faithful Head comes down,
Inherit an eternal crown.

Verse 2
Nothing on earth but Christ we know,
Nothing we seek but Christ alone,
And while we live his life below,
The world accuse, condemn, disown,
And as out-landish monsters chase
The pilgrims to their heavenly place.
