John 18:23: Jesus answered him, If I have spoken, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Silent we turn the other cheek,
The private injury pass by,
Yet when required for God to speak
From crimes ourselves to justify,
Submissive to the powers that be,
We dare not obstinate appear,
But speak with mild sincerity,
Our office, not ourselves to clear.
