The Jews’ arch enemy—on gallows hung.
A weeping widow, who to idols clung.
The ripest, richest, of the Spirit’s fruits.
A bondmaid’s son, of fierce and wild pursuits.
A city doom’d, but through repentance spared,
A woman by the serpent’s voice ensnare&
The name that’s given to all of Adam’s race.
A title borne by Him who died in love and grace.
What is it, without which not one can see
The Holy Lord, or in His presence be?
