Religion
Mark 3:20: Who of the rich or great appear
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Who of the rich or great appear?
The vulgar run in flocks to hear,
The refuse of mankind.
Whom all the wise and noble scorn,
To Jesus from their sins they turn,
And sure salvation find.
To' abase the loftiness of man
Their grandeur, power, and honour vain.
The despicable herd.
The poor to their Redeemer cleave:
And few besides will e'er receive
A mean rejected Lord.
