John 13:26: Jesus His benefits bestows
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Jesus His benefits bestows
On open friends and secret foes,
Or these to those prefers;
The sop, the outward gift He gives
To traitors, hypocrites, and thieves.
To Satan's ministers.
Gifts will not evidence our grace.
Or riches in their shining face
The marks of goodness show;
We can by no external sign
Discern the favourites Divine,
Ox John ixom Judas know.
