[He spake that they might hear]

These things I say, that ye might be saved. —v. 34.

He spake that they might hear,
And faith by hearing come,
He spake with kind intent sincere
To save and not to doom;

373

With real serious will
He wish'd them justified,
Who in their sins continued still
Till in their sins they died.
