Luke 13:26: The Jews beheld the Lord most-high
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The Jews beheld the Lord most-high,
When God on earth appear'd.
His wonders saw with careless eye,
His slighted sayings heard:
They would not own that Christ was He
The true eternal God,
Held fast their incredulity.
And perish'd in their blood.
Professors still His name abuse,
His sacraments and word,
Subjection to His will refuse,
And falsely call Him Lord;
But who will not their Master own,
Or His commands obey,
They justly are by Christ unknown
In that decisive day.
