Matthew 26:74: Not know the Man (that God below)
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Not know the Man (that God below)
With whom so late thou vow'dst to die I
Alas, thyself thou didst not know.
Or wouldst not now thy Lord deny:
Go, Peter, weep thy shameful fall,
And let thy grief o'erwhelm us all.
What end of man's apostasy,
If still the' apostate Thou forsake?
But stopp'd, almighty Love, by Thee,
The wandering sinner is brought back:
Thy look the gracious power supplied,
Or Peter had like Judas died.
