CHAPTER XXVI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
699.
[Saviour, at Thy command I speak]
The high priest . . . said unto Him, Answerest, &c.
—xxvi. 62.
Saviour, at Thy command I speak,
Or suffering in the truth's defence,
I stand, like Thee, submissive, meek,
Nor plead my injured innocence:
Thy silence teaches me to waive
The vehement, vain apology;
Thy silence the example gave,
And bought the speechless grace for me.
