[Jesus declines the umpire's place]

Who made Me a judge or a divider over, &c. —xii. 14.

Jesus declines the umpire's place
Whose word had made their difference end,
To teach the stewards of His grace
Above all earthly views to' ascend;
True ministers of Christ the Lord
Should only live to preach His word.
