John 18:33: Art Thou the King of the Jews?
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
King of fat Jews and Gentiles too,
Born from above and form'd anew
By Thy creating power,
Thee, Jesus, we with joy confess,
And prostrate at Thy throne of grace
Thy majesty adore.
O wouldst Thou to my heart explain
The nature of Thy Spirit's reign,
The hidden mystery,
That fill'd with peace and love unknown
My pure self-emptied soul may own
Thou art a King in me.
