[Innocence will not descend]

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said. —xxvi. 64.

Innocence will not descend
Himself to justify,
Yet He doth the truth defend
For which He came to die;
Owns the truth (that I am He
The Christ, the' eternal Son of God)
Truth of His Divinity,
And seals it with His blood.
