Religion
Numbers 35:12: They shall be unto you cities of refuge, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Our City of defence, to Thee
From the avenger, Lord, we flee.
Who in Thy death confide;
Justice Divine pursues in vain
The men who God Himself have slain,
When shelter'd in Thy side.
