[Jesus on the celestial hill]

He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye. —ii. 8.

Jesus on the celestial hill
Doth for His people care,
Doth suffer in His members still,
And all our sorrows bear:
If crush'd on earth the foot complain,
Feeling the injury
The Head above cries out in pain,
“Thou persecutest Me.”
