John 15:24: If I had not done among them the works, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Who to those gracious words of Thine
Might sinless their assent refuse,
Soon as they saw Thy works Divine,
Condemn'd and left without excuse,
Their wilful unbelief they show'd,
And justly perish'd in their blood.
The world may thus our words deny,
Who pardon, or perfection claim;
But when our actions testify,
When all our lives declare the same,
They must the' authentic truth receive,
They must Thy witnesses believe.
