Mark 14:71: Is this the man who answer'd, " Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Is this the man who answer'd, " Lord,
Tis Thine eternal Hfe to' impart,
Thou art the Christ by heaven adored.
Son of the hving God Thou art,
Thee we beheve, and surely know
Jehovah manifest below."
Betray'd by pride insensible,
Whate'er of knowledge we possess,
Of faith Divine, or fervent zeal.
We may be robb'd of all our grace,
May in a moment forfeit all.
And like presumptuous Peter fall.
