Religion
Matthew 26:63: That silence of the' eternal Word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
That silence of the' eternal Word
Confounds our eagerness of pride.
Who will not imitate our Lord
Or man's unjust reproach abide:
With warm, self-vindicating zeal.
Impatient we throw off the blame,
Answer, reply, dispute, appeal.
And all, except ourselves, condemn.
