[Surprising turn of heavenly grace!]

Thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities, &c. —xliii. 24, 25.

Surprising turn of heavenly grace!
“I, even I, am He,”
That drives the sinner from My face?
“No; but who pardon thee!”
Thy bowels of compassion sound,
Thy heart with love runs o'er,
And where my sin doth most abound,
Thy grace aboundeth more.
