[While our grief for sin we show]

He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. —vii. 48.

While our grief for sin we show,
Our respect for Christ express,

Deeper wrought His work of grace;
Jesus by His Spirit's power
Fuller confidence imparts,

Gives us what He gave before,
Seals the pardon on our hearts.
