John 18:7: Then asked He them again, Whom seek ye?, &c

Jesus the oft repeated call
Doth to obdurate sinners give,
Time to recover from their fall,
To weigh their ways, repent and live:
He turns us to our hearts again,
He asks me whom I seek below,
Would I the world or Christ obtain,
The joy of grace or nature know?

Him do I seek by faith to' adore,
Or by my sins to crucify?
Jesus, Thou dost my thoughts explore,
My soul is naked to Thine eye:
I seek, or think I seek my Lord,
That when I find Thy precious grace,
Thy name may be confess'd, adored,
And hallow'd with eternal praise.
