by John Newton, When Joseph his brethren beheld
“ I am JESUS, whom thou hast blasphemed, And crucified often afresh; But let me henceforth be esteemed, Thy brother, thy bone, and thy flesh: My pardon I freely bestow, Thy wants I will fully supply; I'll guide thee and guard thee below, And soon will remove thee on high. Go, publish to sinners around, That they may be willing to come, The mercy which now you have found, And tell them that yet there is room." O, sinners, the message obey! No more vain excuses pretend; But come, without farther delay, To Jesus our brother and friend. ”
