[The judgment of the world how blind]
Some said, He is a good man: others said, &c.
—vii. 12, 13.
The judgment of the world how blind,
Who treat the members like their Head!
As base deceivers of mankind
Whoe'er in Jesu's footsteps tread,
Their Lord to Calvary attend,
And bear His burden to the end.
Who treat the members like their Head!
As base deceivers of mankind
Whoe'er in Jesu's footsteps tread,
Their Lord to Calvary attend,
And bear His burden to the end.
None dares in their behalf to speak,
Abandon'd and decried by all,
No favour but from God they seek,
On Him they for protection call,
On Him their Advocate rely,
Till meekly on His cross they die.
Abandon'd and decried by all,
No favour but from God they seek,

Till meekly on His cross they die.
