Who doth through Jesu’s grace repent

Verse 1
Who doth thro’ Jesus grace repent
With patience to the cross submits,
Humbly accepts his punishment,
Himself condemns, and God acquits,
Zealous his genuin faith t’ express,
And Christ in life and death confess.

Verse 2
His God he on the cross can see,
For his eternal kingdom prays,
In mercy, Lord, remember me,
Give me above the meanest place,
But give me with thy saints a part,
And bear me on thy dying heart.
