Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me mostI sacrifice them to his blood. His dying crimson, like a robe,Spreads oer his body on the tree ; Then I am dead to all the globe,And all the globe is dead to me. w Now Publishing, in Parts, Price One Shilling or Twenty-five Cents, PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY JOHN TALLIS AND CO.,97 and 100, ST.
