Matthew 17:27: Lest we should offend them
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Master, I want Thy tenderness,
Thy boundless charity.
Not to offend, not to displease
The men that know not Thee:
Rather than stumble friend or foe,
I too would wrong sustain,
And every privilege forego.
One precious soul to gain.
