[Born of the flesh, I mock'd the men]

I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou, &c. —xxii. 8.

Born of the flesh, I mock'd the men
Renew'd in love and born again,
My carnal enmity
Against Thy members, Lord, was show'd,
And hating all the sons of God
I persecuted Thee.
While obstinate I disbelieved,
Thy Spirit, Lord, I daily grieved,
Denied Thy saving name,
By each transgression of Thy laws,
Again I nail'd Thee to the cross
And put to open shame.
