[Rejoice, ye followers of your Lord]

They were the more fierce, saying, He, &c. —xxiii. 5.

Rejoice, ye followers of your Lord,
Who preach the pure, pacific word,
Disturbers of the public peace,
Troublers of sleeping consciences,
As enemies to church and state,
Whom all men persecute and hate,
To you, your Master's cup is given,
And great is your reward in heaven.
