John 8:9: Ajid they which heard it...went out

Conscience, thou voice of God in man,
Accused by thee, we strive in vain
Thy clamours to sui)press:
A thousand witnesses thou art;
And God is greater than our heart,
And all its evils sees.

Thy voice outspeaks, and strikes us dumb.
When greater sinners we presume
With rigour to condemn,
It makes us hide our guilty head.
Who vilest profligates upbraid,
And judge ourselves in them.
