[See ye misbelieving race]
And all that sat in the council, looking, &c.
—vi. 15.
See ye misbelieving race,
Read it on your prisoner's face;
By the shining token know
Stephen is not Moses' foe:
God Himself doth witness bear,
More than innocent declare,
With celestial grace endued,
Marks him for the friend of God.
Read it on your prisoner's face;
By the shining token know
Stephen is not Moses' foe:
God Himself doth witness bear,
More than innocent declare,
With celestial grace endued,
Marks him for the friend of God.
Signs alas! cannot suffice,
Blind your hearts, if not your eyes,
All the human angel see,
All that angel's death decree!
Thus, my God, if Thou bestow
Angels on Thy church below,
Still the world refuse to own,
Still the messengers they stone.
Blind your hearts, if not your eyes,
All the human angel see,
All that angel's death decree!
Thus, my God, if Thou bestow
Angels on Thy church below,
Still the world refuse to own,
Still the messengers they stone.
