John 1:16: Which was guide to them that took Jesus

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Tremendous change! the reverend guide
Of souls doth Jesus' murderers head;
And oft his successors, allied
With hell, the band of ruffians lead:
Their Lord they barter and betray,
The foremost of His foes appear,
Seize and insult Him everyday,
And slaughter in His members here.
