[Who first received the' engrafted word]

I have given them Thy word; and the world, &c. —xvii. 14.

Who first received the' engrafted word,
Thy followers by the world abhorr'd,
By patience and obedience show'd

54

The faith which through Thy sayings came,
And gloried in their Master's shame
Undaunted confessors of God:
Thy marks were in their bodies seen:
The filth and offscouring of men
Thy badge and daily cross they bore.
And still whoe'er belong to Thee
Detested by the world must be,
Till time and sin shall be no more.
