Religion
Matthew 21: Lord, the builders still reject
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Lord, the builders still reject,
And will not Thee confess.
Brand Thy followers as a sect,
And hate Thy witnesses:
Come and fix Thy kingdom here,
That all mankind Thy sway may own,
See the church's Head appear.
And worship at Thy throne.
