Matthew 26:65: Jesus let all His saints revere

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Jesus let all His saints revere
Treated as a blasphemer here!
Whom prostrate seraphim adore,
The blasphemous affront He bore.
That we may patiently endure,
May make the crown through sufferings sure.
He heard their charge without reply.
And stoop'd a silent lamb to die.
