[The judge his innocence confess'd]
Paul...answered for himself.
—xxvi. 1.
The judge his innocence confess'd
Yet lo, he at the king's request
Repeats his righteous plea;
A ready condescension shows,
And pays the just respect he owes
To listening majesty.
Yet lo, he at the king's request
Repeats his righteous plea;
423
And pays the just respect he owes
To listening majesty.
Himself permitted to defend,
He answers for a nobler end,
Not for himself alone,
But call'd before the rich and great
Arrests them on the judgment seat,
And makes his Saviour known.
He answers for a nobler end,
Not for himself alone,
But call'd before the rich and great
Arrests them on the judgment seat,
And makes his Saviour known.
