Matthew 26:75: But He who gave the slighted word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
But He who gave the slighted word,
Brought it again to Peter's mind.
The sinner's sleeping conscience stirr'd.
By shame and deep contrition join'd
For him who had his Lord forsook,
Jesus had pray'd before the throne,
And cast the kind upbraiding look
Which smote and broke his heart of stone.
