[Teachers and priests perversely blind]
The chief priests and scribes . . . were, &c.
—xxi. 15.
Teachers and priests perversely blind,
Ambitious, covetous, and proud,
Matter of sore displeasure find
In all the wondrous works of God:
They rage to see His kingdom near,
While new-born babes their voices raise,
With Jesus' name torment their ear,
And fill the church with hymns of praise.
