Acts 17:19: May we know what this new doctrine, &c

Yes; ye all may comprehend
This doctrine strange yet true:
God did from His throne descend,
And tasted death for you:
Conqueror of the grave, He rose
To prove a sinful world forgiven,
Pardon purchased for His foes,
And purity and heaven.
vol. XII. z

This the doctrine new receive
By our first father known:
In the Second Man believe,
And live through faith alone,
Life the glorious gospel brings,
Through that atoning blood applied,
Lifts you into priests and kings,
And seats you by His side.
