John 7:32: The Pharisees and the chief priests sent, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

See the heavenly Man of God,
How patiently He stands!
Lets the men athirst for blood
Extend their ruffian hands;
Checks the fury of His foes,
But not by judgments from above.
Only signs of meekness shows,
And miracles of love!
