[When the captious Pharisee]

He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, &c. —viii. 12.

When the captious Pharisee
Asks a fresh unneeded sign,
We can only sigh like Thee
Touch'd with sympathy Divine!
Lord increase our loving grief,
Hear us for the' opposers pray,
Help their wilful unbelief,
Take their stony heart away.
