Religion
Matthew 17:12: The portion this, the lot appears
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The portion this, the lot appears
Of Christ, and all His ministers,
Abandon'd to the cruel will
Of those who can the body kill:
Yet will we speak in Jesus' name.
Forerunners, followers of our God
Who seal'd His record with His blood.
