And fasting mortified his soul, While for their life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns. 5 Oh glorious type of heavenly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, their Saviour prays, And pities them with tears. 6 He, the true David, Israel’s king, Blest and belov'd of God, To save us rebels dead in sin Paid his own dearest blood.
