First Line: How dare we look askance at these two men
Last Line: Nor followed even at a great way off!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ = Suffering & Sacrifice; Judas Iscariot (d. 30 A.d.)
How dare we look askance at these two men,
Toy with unspoken thoughts, "Were I there then—"
Venture to pity, blame, or mildly scoff?
We, who have struck not once with any sword,
Who have so many times betrayed our Lord,
Nor followed even at a great way off!
