Religion
Judges 11:31: The beast that meets him shall be slain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The beast that meets him shall be slain;
Resign'd to God the child of man,
A living sacrifice, restored
Entire, devoted to the Lord:
The Lord, he knows, so kind and good,
Hath no delight in human blood.
Or pleased accepts of One alone,
That offering of His slaughter'd Son.
