"What Will Be My Plea? What My Dependence?"

[KenH]

"When I am summoned to the great tribunal, what will be my plea? what my dependence? Nothing but Christ! Christ, would I say, has been wounded for my sins, therefore they will not be punished in me. Christ has fulfilled all righteousness in my stead, therefore I trust to be justified when I am judged. I am a poor unworthy sinner, but worthy is the Lamb that was slain, for whose sake I shall receive both pardoning mercy and everlasting glory."

- James Hervey (1714-1758)
