[The full meridian blaze]
There shone from heaven a great light, &c.
—xxii. 6.
The full meridian blaze
Of evangelic grace
Doth at first the soul confound,
Dazzling with a flood of light,
Strikes the sinner to the ground,
Blinds and then restores his sight.

Jesus for him employs
His light, His hand, His voice,
First his unbelief reproves,
Casts him down again to raise,
Speaks upbraiding whom He loves,
Then declares His righteousness.

O that like Saul I might
Behold the heavenly light,
Sink beneath Thy mighty hand,
Call'd my righteous Lord to see,
Lifted up by Thy command,
Wash'd from all my sins in Thee!

Call'd my righteous Lord to see,
