Acts 11:18: Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted, &c

That change entire of life and heart
Which only God effects in man,
Saviour and Prince to us impart,
And in our inmost souls explain;
The death of sin, the life of grace,
We then shall feel Divinely given,
And pass, rejoicing all our days,
To that eternal life in heaven.

Giver of repentance, Thee
My Lord I long to prove,
O vouchsafe the grace to me,
The grief of contrite love:
Sunk in sin, to Thee I pray
Exalted on Thy glorious throne;
Saviour, Prince, Thy power display,
And break my heart of stone.
