John 5:27: When they had brought them,...they set them, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Humble and wise, they offer not
Before the judgment seat to' appear,
But yield, and let themselves be brought
Superior both to wrath and fear,
Fill'd with the Spirit of God supreme,
Who first o'ercame the world for them.
Fill'd with the same almighty grace
Our foes we neither seek nor shun,
Let them at their tribunals place
We there our Lord and Pattern own,
And glory His reproach to share
And stand with Jesus at the bar.
