“And can it be, that I should gain
An Int'rest in the Saviour’s blood!
Dy'd He for Me? ---- who caus'd his Pain!
For Me? ---- who him to Death pursu'd!
Amazing Love!   how can it be
That Thou, my GOD shouldst die for Me?”

Boasts two soul-sides,—one to face the world with,
One to show a woman when he loves her!”
