What life, by faith, our souls receive! What pleasures do his sorrows give! 4 Still may I view the savior's cross, And other objects count but loss; Here still be fix'd my feasted eyes, Enraptur'd with his sacrifice! 5 Jesus the savior, balmy name! Thy worth my tongue would now proclaim; By thy atonement set me free, My life, my hope is all from thee. Scripture: Numbers 21:8-9 Text Sources: General Baptist Collection
