Religion
Luke 22:24: The i ride of haughtiest kings is seen
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The i ride of haughtiest kings is seen
In ambition's fishermen
Who the first place assume;
The plague of every human heart
It never will from one depart,
Till Jesu's Spirit come.
Jesus, Thou only canst abase
Proudest of sinners by Thy grace;
My Saviour from above
Appear, that I the least of all
May sink, and into nothing fall
Before Thy dying love.
