John 4:18: Prince and Saviour of mankind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Prince and Saviour of mankind.
Giver of repentance true.
Bring my secret sins to mind,
Drag them into open view.
Show me what I dread to know.
To himself the sinner show.
What I cannot hide from Thee,
From myself I hide in vain:
Give me, Lord, myself to see,
Break my heart with grief and pain.
Then my guilty load remove,
Then reveal Thy pardoning love.
