We were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.—I. Thessalonians, ii. 2.
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.—Proverbs, xxviii. 1.
Where high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The guardian of mankind appears.
He who for men their surety stood,
And poured on earth His precious blood,
Pursues in heaven His mighty plan,
The Saviour and the friend of man.
