A HYMN UPON Rom. 5. ver. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Verse
6.
WHen we were destitute of strength,
our selves to help or save,
Christ for ungodliness at length,
his Life a Ransom gave.
7.
For one that's Righteous, we would grutch
to lay our life to stake,
And for a good man, it were much,
such an exchange to make.
8.
But God his matchless love commends
in that Christ Jesus dies
For us, when we were not his friends,
but wretched Enemies.

9.
Much more being justified and free,
through his own Blood from sin,
From wrath to come we sav'd shall be,
even by the life of him.
10.
For if when Enemies for us,
Christs death did end the strife:
Much more when reconciled thus,
He'l save us by his life.
11.
Yea; more than so, we triumph now
in God with one Accord,
Having receiv'd Attonement through
Christ Jesus our own Lord.
Wherefore to him, who is the first
begotten of the dead,
Who over earthly Princes must,
be supream Lord and Head:
Ev•…•… to him who lov'd us so,
to wash us in his Blood,
And make us Kings, and Priests unto
his Father, and his God.
To him Dominion therefore,
by us be given, when
This present world shall be no more:
To which, we say,
Amen.
