John 8:41: The children of that wicked one

The children of that wicked one
Conceal their sin and shame.
With daring pride the God unknown
They for their Father claim;
Their guilt disdaining to confess
They make their misery sure,
And while they cherish their disease
Can never find a cure.

Sinner the painful truth admit
By hell no more beguiled,
And prostrate own at Jesu's feet
Thou art the devil's child;
Devilish thy works, and life, and heart;
But ransom'd by His blood
Believe that thou His purchase art,
And thou art born of God.
