John 8:43: Why do ye not understand My speech?

Strangers to your redeeming Lord
Self-harden'd from His righteous fear,
Ye cannot understand His word,
For dead in sin ye will not hear:
His knowledge He withholds from none,
The bar is all in you alone.

By blinding passions prepossess'd,
Through grace consent to let them go
And ye may be in Jesus bless'd.
And ye His saving truths shall know,
Taste the good word to sinners given.
And praise your Teacher sent from heaven.
