In the two following verses we seem to hear the
far-off noise of battle--a dim echo from the theological
conflicts of bygone days, when the term
'Antinomian' was a favourite missile to hurl at an opponent.

All praise to Christ the Righteous
Who for my sin has died,
And from the grave has risen
That I be justified:
Upon His throne of pity
He intercedes for me,
And names His life of sorrow,
His death upon the tree.
|
|
Now in the face of Moses,
No friend shall have my plea:
But Jesus Christ the Righteous
Who died for one like me!
In Jordan's swelling torrent,
Or in that 'day to come,'
I know His hand will hold me,
And safely bring me home.

'Now in the face of Moses,' has in it the martial
ring of some famous old battle-cry.
