Hymn that Would Have Fit Nicely this AM Service

Today the focus of our worship service was that we must exalt Jesus above ourselves based on the events that lead up to John the Baptist saying, "He must increase and I must decrease." (John 3)

When I got home I read the text of this hymn over a Challies.com. It would have fit very well with our service, but I was not aware of it when planning things.

Here it is:

God forbid that I should glory,
Save in the Redeemer’s cross.
Counting shame for Him but honor,
Counting earthly gain but loss.
All the love of God is here,
A love that casteth out all fear.

God forbid that I should glory,
Save in Christ my Lord alone.
Him I lean on; Him I follow,
Him, before the world, I own.
All the love of God is here,
A love that casteth out all fear

God forbid that I should glory,
Save in Christ the Son of God.
Him who sought me Him who bought me,
Him who washed me in his blood.
All the love of God is here
A love that casteth out all fear.
