Who upward ever with the certain step
Of faith hast follow’d unrepress’d by sin;
Now that thy foot is almost on the floor
Of heaven, pray Him who opens thee the door,
Let with thee one repenting sinner in!
Just. What more am I? And were I close to Him
As he upon whose breast he lean’d on here,
No intercessor but Himself between
Himself and the worst sinner of us all—
If but repenting we believe in Him.
