Acts 2:37: Compunction of heart, If Jesus bestow

Religion

Compunction of heart, If Jesus bestow,
And kindly impart The sorrowful woe,
Our dying condition U mercy reveals,
We seek a Physician Who penitents heals.

O what shall we do Who Jesus have slain;
Have murder'd anew That meek Son of Man?
Of all we inquire, Till Christ from above
The answer inspire, The sense of His love.
