Religion
Acts 26:1: Paul... answered for himself
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
The judge his innocence confess'd
Yet lo, he at the king's request
Repeats his righteous plea;
A ready condescension shows,
And pays the just respect he owes
To listening majesty.
: Himself permitted to defend,
He answers for a nobler end,
Not for himself alone,
But call'd before the rich and great
Arrests them on the judgment seat,
And makes his Saviour known.
