[Rejoicing in iniquity]
The scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him, &c.
—viii. 3.
Rejoicing in iniquity
The messengers of Satan see,
The servants of his will
Who watches us by day and night,
And seeks with unrelenting spite
To tempt, surprise, and kill.
The messengers of Satan see,
The servants of his will
Who watches us by day and night,
And seeks with unrelenting spite
To tempt, surprise, and kill.
But Jesus came the world to save,
Poor guilty souls who nothing have
In their defence to plead,
Who wait the sentence to receive,
Outcasts of men, that these may live,
He suffer'd in their stead.
Poor guilty souls who nothing have
In their defence to plead,
415
Outcasts of men, that these may live,
He suffer'd in their stead.
