[Zealots though unregenerate men]

The scribes...strove, saying, We find no, &c. —xxiii. 9.

Zealots though unregenerate men
Will for a zealot fight:
Is he of our opinion? then
He must be in the right:
We can in him no evil see,
We can no longer blame;
Let the well-meaning man go free,
He thinks with us the same.
Defenders of His witnesses
The God of truth and power,
Out of their enemies can raise
In the distressing hour;
But suffering saints on Christ depend,
And rest in Christ alone;
Their sure Protector to the end,
Who always saves His own.
