[A Sheep before the shearers brought]

Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the, &c. —xxii. 69.

A Sheep before the shearers brought,
A Lamb whom cruel wolves devour,
Patient of wrong He threatens not,
Declaring His own glorious power,
Witness to that great truth He gives
Which cost the Confessor His blood,
By which His church for ever lives,
One Spirit with the' eternal God.
