Matthew 21:10: When He was come into Jerusalem, all the, &c

The world is at His coming moved
Whose kingdom turns them upside down:
Disturb'd by Him they never loved,
They tremble at a God unknown.
Who comes to suffer for their cause
And nail their passions to His cross.

Of Him they casually inquire,
When shouting crowds His presence show;
They ask; alas, with no desire
His kingdom or Himself to know
They will not see, through envy blind,
Or God Most High in Jesus find.

But shall the men that call Him Lord,
His followers, " Who is this " demand?
We that have heard His gospel- word
Have seen the wonders of His hand,
Shall we forget His power to heal
Or doubt as unbelievers still?

Our base ingratitude forgive,
Jesus whom prostrate we adore:
And now let all our hearts receive
The Prince of peace, the God of power.
The King of saints to sinners given
The sovereign Lord of earth and heaven!
