[What meekness, grace, and love Divine]

Which of you shall have an ass or an ox, &c. —xiv. 5.

What meekness, grace, and love Divine
Through all His words and actions shine!
He teaches, not insults His foes,
Nor publishes the hearts He knows:
He stops the mouth of baffled spite,
Nor brings their secret sins to light,
Nor drags them out for all to see,
But hides His silent victory.
