Since Thou on the tree of the Cross hast expired;
The robe of salvation for ever is mine,
In this shall my faith through eternity shine.
Let my soul, in full exemption,
Wake up in thy likeness now;
Thou art made to me redemption,
My sanctìfication thou.
What though all through life in good works I had striven,
For thy sake alone my reward should be given:
Oh! let me all perishing pleasures forego,
