[For this let fiery zealots seize]

For these causes the Jews caught me in, &c. —xxvi. 21.

For this let fiery zealots seize,
(If Thou the ruffians' hands unbind;)
Me in the courts of holiness,
The temple's foe, they still may find:
Assured that Thou art always near,
I come to suffer all Thy will,
By love Divine forbid to fear
The men who can this body kill.
