Matthew 22:7: The great King of earth and sky
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The great King of earth and sky,
The wicked to consume,
Hasten'd at His martyrs' cry,
And seal'd the murderers' doom;
By His Roman armies slew
The men that dared His utmost ire,
Burn'd their city up, and threw
Their souls into the fire.
