John 7:48: Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees, &c

We still the old objection hear.
Have any of the great, or wise.
The men of name and character
Believed on Him the vulgar prize?
Our Saviour, by the rich unknown,
Is worshipp'd by the poor alone.

The poor, we joyfully confess
His followers and disciples still,
His friends, and chosen witnesses,
Who know His name, and do His will.
Who suffer for our Master's cause,
And only glory in His cross.
