Mark 8:17: On whom doth Jesus' censure fall
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
On whom doth Jesus' censure fall?
On you who Providence forget,
Anxious for life, as life were all.
Labouring for perishable meat,
Who murmur at your scanty store,
Or in abundance grasp at more.
Doubting your heavenly Father's care.
So oft in your support employ'd,
Blinder than infidels ye are,
Of faith, of understanding void.
Grovelling on earth your spirits lie,
And stupid as the beasts that die.
