[Pharisees inquire in vain]
The Pharisees . . . asked him how he had received, &c.
—ix. 15.
Pharisees inquire in vain
How we received our sight,
Will not bow to God made man
Believing in the Light:
God in human clay reveal'd,
Who heal'd us by His blood applied,
Rests with all His works conceal'd
From all the sons of pride.

Will not bow to God made man
Believing in the Light:

Who heal'd us by His blood applied,
Rests with all His works conceal'd
From all the sons of pride.
Jesus hides Himself from those,
Who with an evil heart
Seek the truth, the truth to' oppose,
And spitefully pervert:
When their Saviour they repel,
The Light their pride disdains to' adore,
Leaves them inexcusable,
And blinder than before.
