John 5:30: The God of our fat Iters raised up Jesus, whom, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Si t to the great, and rich, and wise,
(God and His law before our eyes,)
We speak their conscience to convince.
Publicly tax their public sins,
Without insulting we reprove,
In just severity of love.
Preachers are call'd, above the rest,
To stand for innocence oppress'd,
Themselves by hellish hate pursued
To vindicate their suffering God;
And set at man's unrighteous bar,
To' arraign their wicked judges there.
