John 13:28: Doth Jesus still the traitor spare
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Doth Jesus still the traitor spare,
And patient to the end forbear
To' expose His basest foe?
O may I thus behave to mine,
And all the tenderness Divine
To harden'd sinners show.
O that like His disciples, I
Might to myself His word apply:
With candid charity
The traitor undisclosed receive.
Nor evil of the worst believe
Till forced by what I see!
