Religion
John 8:50: I seek not Mine own glory: there is One, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
A Messenger required to speak.
The bounds of his defence will know,
Nor ever his own glory seek,
Or fiercely judge his bitterest foe;
Content the slanders to repel
He speaks of Jesu's mind possess'd.
With wisdom mild and temper'd zeal,
And leaves his life to do the rest.
