Christ bears the name of all his saints
John Newton • English
Primary Scripture: Romans 5:11-12
Verse 1
Christ bears the names of all his saints, Deep on his heart engraved; Attentive to the state and wants Of all his love has saved.
Verse 2
In him a holiness complete, Light, and perfection shine; And wisdom, grace, and glory meet; A Saviour all divine.
Verse 3
The blood, which, as a priest, he bears For sinners, is his own; The incense of his prayers and tears Perfumes the holy throne.
Verse 4
In him my weary soul has rest, Though I am weak and vile; I read my name upon his breast, And see the Father smile.
