[By His own Almighty Spirit]

Him hath God exalted with His right hand, &c. —v. 31.

By His own Almighty Spirit
God hath glorified His Son;
Pardon'd now through Jesus' merit
Penitents approach His throne;
Christ bestows the true contrition,
Makes us feel our soul-disease,
Then appearing our Physician
Heals and bids us go in peace.
In Thy state of exaltation
Answer Lord its end on me,
Thou the God of my salvation
Thou my Prince and Ruler be;

192

Let me first, the true repentance
Self-condemn'd from Thee receive,
Then reverse the fearful sentence,
Bid Thy pardon'd rebel live.
