John 8:7: What wisdom in our heavenly Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
What wisdom in our heavenly Lord!
His power accompanies His word,
And keen conviction darts,
Righteous, and merciful, and meek,
He sends the hypocrites to seek
An answer in their hearts.
He teaches us to cast aside
The cruel zeal of virtuous pride.
And first inquire within,
(Before we dare an harlot stone,)
Impeccable am I alone.
And never born in sin?
