[The publicans may still draw near]

As Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, &c. —ix. 10.

The publicans may still draw near
To God's incarnate Son,
Join'd to His followers appear,
And sit with Jesus down:
The house, the church will all contain,
The meanest and the least,
And every sinful child of man
May be his Saviour's guest.
