[Sinners what have ye done]
Through ignorance ye did it, as did also your, &c.
—iii. 17.
Sinners what have ye done
In nature's ignorance!
Your crime, ye unbelievers own,
Your unperceived offence:
Ye have exposed to shame
The' eternal Son of God,
Murder'd afresh the slaughter'd Lamb,
And trampled on His blood.

And trampled on His blood.
Your learned rulers too
Who sit in Moses' chair,
Have crucified their Lord anew;
And still their Saviour tear:
Alas, they know not yet,
In sin and error bred,
Who spitefully the members treat,
They persecute the Head.
