Matthew 10:16: Who arm'd with Christ's commission goes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Who arm'd with Christ's commission goes,
The world's fierce enmity to prove,
Will nothing to their rage oppose,
But meekness, innocence, and love:
Tis thus we make the gospel known,
The wonders wrought by Jesus' name,
And force the wolves themselves to own,
"A Christian is a patient lamb."
