John 8:28: When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, &c

What multitudes who never know.
Till they have crucified, their God!
He then doth His compassion show,
And draw, and wash them in His blood,
Into His cross's school receive
And teach them fully to believe.

Thy murderers, now we learn of Thee
That Thou art the supreme I AM,
P2qual to God in majesty.
With God eternally the same,
Thy passions and Thy actions shine
With worth and dignity Divine.

Essential Truth, Thy words are His
And following them we cannot stray,
They point us to celestial bliss,
Fresh life into our souls convey;
Till saved and sanctified in one.
They speak us up into Thy throne.
