Acts 22:20: When the blood of Thy martyr Stephen, &c

A convert purged of all his stains
Of his old cancell'd sins retains
The mournful memory;
My God, he cries, hath mercy shown,
And saved, for Jesus' sake alone,
The chief of sinners, me.

Superior grace he cannot boast;
But self-abhorr'd, as in the dust,
Doth still his sins confess;
Less than the least in his own eyes,
Weeping at Jesus' feet he lies,
And humbled all his days.
