John 7:47: When Jesus we presume to praise

When Jesus we presume to praise,
Struck with His wonder working word.
The world their ancient clamour raise,
Against the' admirers of our Lord,
As weak deluded fools despise.
When Christ begins to make us wise.

Deceived by Truth we cannot be:
But you your wretched selves deceive,
Blind Pharisees, who say ye see,
In a vain formal shadow live.
And mock the power ye will not feel.
Till Satan cheats you into hell.
