Matthew 27:37: Thee Jesus, Thee Thy foes confess
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Thee Jesus, Thee Thy foes confess,
Lord of lords and Prince of peace,
Beyond their own design:
King of the inward y t j- Thou art;
Set up Thy kingdom in my heart,
And all my heart is Thine.
Thy right acquired by mortal pain
Over this poor worm maintain.
And challenge for Thine own,
And reign o'er every child of grace,
And fix in all the ransom'd race
Thine everlasting throne.
