[The schools of scribes, and courts of kings]

Jesus . . . saw two brethren . . . casting a net into the sea. —iv. 18.

The schools of scribes, and courts of kings,
The learn'd and great He passes by,
Chooses the weak and foolish things,
His power and grace to testify;
Plain simple men His call endues
With power and wisdom from above;
And such He still vouchsafes to use,
Who nothing know but Jesus' love.
