Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Saviour, inspire with unknown awe
The souls who fondly dream
Thou earnest to' abolish Thy own law.
Fulfilling it for them:
Put them in fear; and then display
The counsel of Thy will.
The law Thou didst yyr man obey,
/;/ man again fulfil.
