Matthew 12:49: Lord, what is man's distinguish'd race
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Lord, what is man's distinguish'd race.
Whom Thou dost for Thy brethren own,
Crown'd with a dignity and grace
To brightest seraphim unknown!
Who do on earth Thy Father's will,
Most closely to their Lord allied
Shall meet Thee on the heavenly hill,
And reign triumphant at Thy side.
