Religion
John: Jesus... went forth with His disciples over the, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
The emblem had in trembling haste
The brook with his companions pass'd,
Mournful, disconsolate, dismay'd,
When David from his rebel fled:
But calm the Son of David goes
To meet His fierce ungrateful foes,
The life of Absalom to buy,
And for a world of rebels die.
