Acts 21:40: Wounded and bruised and drench'd in blood
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Wounded and bruised and drench'd in blood,
Fit witness for a martyr'd God,
He stems the popular tide;
And while the Saviour he declares,
The marks he in his body bears
Of Jesus crucified.
Happy who thus their Lord confess!
Jesus shall arm them with His grace,
His witnesses inspire,
On them the glorious Spirit shall rest,
With love Divine expand their breast,
And touch their lips with fire.
