Religion
Matthew 5:14: A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Can we from the world conceal
A church that 's built on Thee?
Seated on Thy holy hill
They must the city see:
Pride may frown, and prudence chide.
Bid us keep our faith unknown;
Faith its light no more can hide
Than the meridian sun.
