[O could I view them with those eyes]
Love your enemies.
—v. 44.
O could I view them with those eyes
Which wept the bloody Salem's fall,
And echo back the Saviour's cries,
And on My heavenly Father call,
“Forgive them, O My God, forgive,
I thirst—to die, that they may live!”
Which wept the bloody Salem's fall,
And echo back the Saviour's cries,
And on My heavenly Father call,
“Forgive them, O My God, forgive,
I thirst—to die, that they may live!”
Send forth the Spirit of Thy Son,
Which turns the leopard to a lamb,
So shall I put His bowels on,
Who hellish hate by love o'ercame,
Who made His murderers His care,
And saved them through His dying prayer.
Which turns the leopard to a lamb,
So shall I put His bowels on,
Who hellish hate by love o'ercame,
Who made His murderers His care,
And saved them through His dying prayer.
