Luke 9:51-56 – Samaritans refuse to receive Jesus
The hill of blood
the place of the skull
doth beckon
Thy face is set
none can change
thee with sin shall reckon
Receive you not
nor shall you pass
through Gerizim gate
They turn thee away
and receive you not
for Jerusalem they hate.
Thy men enraged
with unholy zeal
set to command the fire
Tis not Your will
You rule with love
and not the threat of pyre.
Thy gentle tongue
sets hearts aright
as further on you travel.
Thy face is set
on the place of skulls
the grasp of sin to be unraveled.
James M. Hahn, Author
