[Calm he hears their furious cry]

Away with such a fellow from the earth, &c. —xxii. 22.

Calm he hears their furious cry
Who clamour for his blood,
Knows his life above the sky
Is hid with Christ in God,
Knows he must fulfil his race,
And suffer out his time below;
Fittest for that heavenly place
He then to God shall go.
Ye that now the news proclaim
Of a redeeming Lord,
Witnessing with Paul the same,
Expect the same reward;

399

Judged unfit while here ye rove
To tread the earth or breathe the air,
Lift your hearts to things above
And seek your mansions there.
