Jesus can vindicate his "right Divine" and "Conquer this rebellious heart"
Metaphor in Context
Jesus, Son of the Most High,
Power omnipotent is Thine;
Lord of all in earth and sky,
Vindicate Thy right Divine;
Conquer this rebellious heart:
Then I know, in love renew'd,
Thou, my present Saviour, art
The One, true, eternal God.
Power omnipotent is Thine;
