[Jesus, the merciful and true]
He stood between the dead and the living, &c.
—xvi. 48.
Jesus, the merciful and true,
Between the dead and living stand,
The numerous dead, the living few
Who now divide Britannia's land!
Thou dost as in the midst appear,
Thou hast for all atonement made,
And through the incense of Thy prayer
The plague of unbelief is stay'd.
