John 12:7: The world who only seek their own
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The world who only seek their own.
Compassion for the poor pretend.
But judge who live for God alone.
And all on their Redeemer spend:
They may external works approve
Whene'er the needy we relieve.
But our excess of zealous love
To Christ, they never can forgive.
