80. GLORYING IN THE CROSS. [(notes)]

Let it not be, that e'er my soul in aught

Should glory touching on delight or pride,

Save in the wondrous cross of Him, who died

A sacrifice of worth beyond all thought,

With inf'nite blessings to the guilty fraught.

Give me faith's vision—let who will deride—

O blessed Jesus! of thy pierced side:

I boast of thee and what thy love has wrought.
