[To Thy poor unfaithful creature]
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared, &c.
—xxiv. 34.
To Thy poor unfaithful creature,
Jesus show Thyself alive,
Thou who didst appear to Peter,
Now to me repentance give;
Me who have by sin denied Thee,
Author of Thy mortal smart,
Oft afresh have crucified Thee,
Turn, and look, and break my heart.

Author of Thy mortal smart,
Oft afresh have crucified Thee,
Turn, and look, and break my heart.
While with tears of true contrition
I my grievous falls deplore,
Pity my forlorn condition,
Lift me up to sin no more;
By Thy glorious resurrection,
Thou my twice-dead spirit raise,
Quicken'd with Divine affection,
Fill'd with all the life of grace.
