Religion
Luke 14:31, 32: Shall I the Lord of hosts defy
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Shall I the Lord of hosts defy,
As stronger than the' Almighty I?
Or now my impotence confess.
And humbly sue for terms of peace?
The terms He hath already given,
The peace is made 'twixt earth and heaven;
I yield: the war is at an end.
And God in Jesus is my friend.
