John 11:37: Presumptuous men through malice blind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Presumptuous men through malice blind,
Would fain the times and seasons know,
Fault with eternal Wisdom find.
And teach Him when His power to show.
Insult Him for His kind delay.
And when He works, the Saviour stay.
