[Compunction of heart, If Jesus bestow]

They were pricked in their heart, and said, &c. —ii. 37.

Compunction of heart, If Jesus bestow,
And kindly impart The sorrowful woe,
Our dying condition If mercy reveals,
We seek a Physician Who penitents heals.
O what shall we do Who Jesus have slain;
Have murder'd anew That meek Son of Man?
Of all we inquire, Till Christ from above
The answer inspire, The sense of His love.
