Matthew 24:2: In justice to a sinful race
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
In justice to a sinful race,
Their glorious temple He estroy'd,
In mercy He removed the place
Which kept them from their Saviour-God;
In mystery He the old o'erthrew,
Worship, and priests, and sacrifice,
Himself the House, the Victim new,
The great High-Priest who never dies.
