Religion
Matthew 26:49: He came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The world with courtesy like his
Doth Jesus' followers treat,
And calmly the perfidious kiss
We would, like Christ, admit;
But full of rancorous despite
They do not Jesus know.
Who cannot bear the speech or sight
Of an ungrateful foe.
