[Stupendous word of power Divine!]

We shall all be changed, in a moment, &c. —xv. 51, 52.

Stupendous word of power Divine!
“And cannot the Almighty raise

40

Into a saint this soul of mine,
Transform'd by instantaneous grace?”
He can the general guilt remove,
This moment speak our sins forgiven,
And perfect all mankind in love,
And snatch us up at once to heaven.
He can; but hath He said, He will?
His word must His design explain;
Or doth He thus with sinners deal,
And give the tree before the grain?
He wills us long in grace to grow,
He bids us step by step proceed:
And on we to perfection go,
Till made in all things like our Head.
