[The beast that meets him shall be slain]

Whatsoever cometh to meet me, shall surely be, &c. —xi. 31.

The beast that meets him shall be slain;
Resign'd to God the child of man,
A living sacrifice, restored
Entire, devoted to the Lord:
The Lord, he knows, so kind and good,
Hath no delight in human blood,
Or pleased accepts of One alone,
That offering of His slaughter'd Son.
