 | CHAPTER XXVI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
690.
[So gentle toward my basest foe]
Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore, &c.
—xxvi. 50.
So gentle toward my basest foe
O might I always be,
A like return with Jesus show
To hellish treachery!
O might I keep His patient word,
His temper to the end,
Taught by the meekness of my Lord,
Who call'd the traitor Friend!
