Born to redeem, and strong to save," Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And, "Where's thy victory, boasting grave?" Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Now the gracious Mediator Risen to the courts of bliss, Claims for me, a sinful creature, Pardon, righteousness, and peace! 3 Sure such infinite affection Lays the highest claims to mine; All my powers, without exception, Should in fervent praises join. Jesus, fit me for thy service; Form me for thyself alone; I am thy most costly purchase,-- Take possession of thine own. Scripture: Numbers 21:8 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
