[Horrible wish! Thy murderers dare]
Then answered all the people, and said, &c.
—xxvii. 25.
Horrible wish! Thy murderers dare
The blessing to a curse pervert:
We turn the curse into a prayer;
To cleanse our lives, and purge our heart,
In all its hallowing, blissful powers
Thy blood be, Lord, on us and ours!
The blessing to a curse pervert:
We turn the curse into a prayer;
To cleanse our lives, and purge our heart,
In all its hallowing, blissful powers
Thy blood be, Lord, on us and ours!
On me, Thou bleeding Lamb, on me
Be pour'd the consecrating stream,
From all, from all iniquity
My life, my nature to redeem,
To fill with purity Divine,
And sign my soul for ever Thine.
