[He now had taught the favour'd race]

When Jesus had finished all these sayings, &c. —xxvi. 1.

He now had taught the favour'd race,
His final full instructions given,
Convinced by miracles of grace,
Mark'd out the' unerring way to heaven,
An all-complete example shown,
And lived on earth for them alone.
One only proof doth yet remain
His zeal for man to testify,
To crown His life of love and pain,
The Lamb prepares Himself to die,
To ransom sinners by His blood,
And bring them sanctified to God.
