Religion
Matthew 27:32: Soon as we truly willing are
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Soon as we truly willing are
To serve the Saviour's cause,
Forced by an adverse world.
We bear the scandal of Thy cross:
At first we bear it through constraint.
Till sprinkled with Thy blood
No more we shrink, no more we faint,
But bless the welcome load.
