[Thee Jesus, Thee Thy foes confess]

They set up over His head His accusation, &c. —xxvii. 37.

Thee Jesus, Thee Thy foes confess,
Lord of lords and Prince of peace,
Beyond their own design:
King of the inward Jews Thou art;
Set up Thy kingdom in my heart,
And all my heart is Thine.
Thy right acquired by mortal pain
Over this poor worm maintain,
And challenge for Thine own,
And reign o'er every child of grace,
And fix in all the ransom'd race
Thine everlasting throne.
