 | CHAPTER XXIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1580.
[But thicker darkness overspread]
There was a darkness over all the earth.
—xxiii. 44.
But thicker darkness overspread
Their hearts who nail'd Him to the tree,
And could not through that dreadful shade
Perceive the dying Deity:
Admonish'd by that sacred night
Let us to Christ the glory give
Whose death hath merited the light
By which we now in Him believe.
