[Thou art the man—in David's case]

Thou art the man! —xii. 7.

Thou art the man—in David's case,
Whose careless soul is fallen from grace,
Fallen into heart-adultery!
The curse of God abides on thee;
Till with thy bosom-sin thou part,
The offering of a broken heart
Present before that gracious throne,
And plead the death of David's Son!
