Religion
John 7:44: The world their hands can never lay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The world their hands can never lay
On one secured in Thine,
Till Thou permit them. Lord, to' obey
And answer Thy design;
They then with malice blind fulfil
Thine unperceived decree.
The body of Thy witness kill.
And send his soul to Thee.
