Religion
Acts 25:24: The Javs... crying that he ought not to live, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Jews may clamour for his blood,
Their hate to satisfy,
Louder in the ears of God
The loving Spirit's cry:
While the fiend his death desires,
Nor would another hour reprieve,
Jesus in the saints requires
His minister may live
