[No; my sin and shame I own]

He saith to him again the second time, &c. —xxi. 16.

No; my sin and shame I own,
Burden'd with an heart of stone,

124

Conscious of my misery,
Destitute of love to Thee.

But I can to Thee appeal,
Thee who lov'dst my soul so well,
Fain I would the grace obtain,
Love my loving Lord again.

Till the Crucified appears
Scattering all my griefs and fears,
Humbled in the dust I cry,
Give me love, or else I die.

Thou who freely didst resign
Thy own life to ransom mine,
Manifest the mystery,
Show Thy bleeding love for me.

Only Thy expiring pain
Can my stubbornness constrain:
But if Thou Thy death reveal
Then the riven rock shall feel;

Then I shall to Thee reply,
(Vanquish'd by Thy passion I,)
See the love Thy wounds impart,
Read it Saviour, in my heart.
