[First to the Jews was Shiloh sent]

Ye are the children,...&c. —iii. 25, 26.

First to the Jews was Shiloh sent,
Power effectual to repent
On Israel He bestow'd,
With pardon and salvation bless'd,
His murderers from their sins released,
And wash'd them in His blood.
He now is sent to every heart,
Every soul He would convert
In this accepted day;
And heathens now are justified,
And feel through faith the blood applied,
Which takes our sins away.
