Religion
Luke 23:5: Rejoice, ye followers of your Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Rejoice, ye followers of your Lord,
Who preach the pure, pacific word.
Disturbers of the public peace,
Troublers of sleeping consciences.
As enemies to church and state,
Whom all men persecute and hate.
To you, your Master's cup is given.
And great is your reward in heaven.
