Religion
Acts 17:9: When they had taken security of Jason, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Who always took His people's part,
He interposes still,
Jesus, that made the human heart,
And turns it at His will.
Rulers, if He permits, oppress;
Or just compassion show,
As friends of equity and peace
They let His prisoners go.
