Matthew 21:5: Gentle and meek He comes to those
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Gentle and meek He comes to those
In compassing His death employ'd,
His furious, unrelenting foes
Who thirsted for their Saviour's blood:
Gives Himself up to satisfy
Their rage and for His murderers die!
O how unlike the kingdoms here
Thy kingdom open'd in Thine own!
Meekness and peace and lowly fear.
And righteousness support Thy throne.
Patience in death, resembling Thine,
And love invincibly Divine.
