      6 6, 6 6, 6 6. "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." - Rev. i, ll.
      1 JESUS, the first and last,
      On thee my soul is cast:
      Thou didst thy work begin
      By blotting out my sin;
      Thou wilt the root remove,
      And perfect me in love.

      2 Yet when the work is done,
      The work is but begun:
      Partaker of thy grace,
      I long to see thy face;
      The first I prove below,
      The last I die to know.
