[The world offended at our Lord]
So there was a division among the people, &c.
—vii. 43.
The world offended at our Lord,
Is still in every age the same;
To bring a sharp divisive sword,
Not a deceitful peace He came,
His followers from His foes to part,
And show the ground of every heart.
Is still in every age the same;
To bring a sharp divisive sword,
Not a deceitful peace He came,
His followers from His foes to part,
And show the ground of every heart.
The truth His confessors defend
His faithless enemies deny:
Those in their Saviour's cause contend,
These still persist and crucify,
Till Jesus His great power assumes,
And the millennial kingdom comes.
