John 7:12, 13: The judgment of the world how blind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The judgment of the world how blind,
Who treat the members like their Head!
As base deceivers of mankind
Whoe'er in Jesu's footsteps tread.
Their Lord to Calvary attend,
And bear His burden to the end.
None dares in their behalf to speak,
Abandon'd and decried by all,
No favour but from God they seek,
On Him they for protection call.
On Him their Advocate rely,
Till meekly on His cross they die.
