[Whene'er we preach our pardoning Lord]
Some believed...and some believed not.
—xxviii. 24.
Whene'er we preach our pardoning Lord,
Some disbelieve the faithful word,
And some confess its power;
Savour of life or death it proves,
The stony from their hearts removes,
Or hardens them the more.
Some disbelieve the faithful word,
And some confess its power;
Savour of life or death it proves,
The stony from their hearts removes,
Or hardens them the more.
The poor and blind receive their sight,
With faith's unspeakable delight
A precious Christ esteem;
But stubborn Pharisees disdain
Salvation through a Saviour slain,
And infidels blaspheme.
With faith's unspeakable delight
A precious Christ esteem;
453
Salvation through a Saviour slain,
And infidels blaspheme.
