Matthew 20:21: Grant that these my two sons may sit, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
A Type of modern parents see!
Our Saviour's meanness we forget,
His death and passion on the tree,
Through haste to make our children great:
Ambitious that the highest prize
Our sons with Zebedee's should share.
We A ish them in the church to rise,
And win the first preferments there.
