John 8:57: Broken the Man of griefs appears
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Broken the Man of griefs appears,
The Man of griefs He stands confess'd
Not by the weight of numerous years,
But by our numerous sins oppress'd.
Faded in youth, grown old so soon,
He shows His sun must set at noon.
