And he took them the same hour of the, &c.
—xvi. 33.
Faith cannot unfruitful prove,

Pour'd the balm into his soul,
Minister'd the gospel grace,
Made his wounded spirit whole.

While their host with loving zeal
Kindly doth his patients tend,
Would they not of Jesus tell,
Point him to his dearest Friend?
Lo; the Crucified appears,
See, the bleeding tokens see!
Sinner wash them with thy tears,
Kiss the stripes He bore for thee!
