[Still we see our Lord below]

After that they had mocked Him, they . . . led, &c. —xxvii. 31.

Still we see our Lord below
Mock'd by hypocrites profane,
Mock'd with forms and empty show,
Mock'd with acts of worship vain:
Twice a week they bow the knee,
Zealous in religion's cause;
Then away to Calvary!
Then they nail Him to His cross!
