So
as a lion mighty among beasts,
Which
turneth not aside for any, Christ
Walked
here, and, shunning pharisaic feasts,
Pursued
the way that set His people free:
He
did not turn away from Satan's wiles
Or
enmity, or men's assaults, the cross,
Death,
or the grave: the way that reconciles
To
God entailed such triumph and such loss.
The
Father honours Him, and thus He sits
Upon
the throne of Him, who has delight
To
choose the entourage of men He fits
To
share the portion of the saints in light.
While
He gives grace that in an evil day
His
lion-hearted men won't turn away.

Grace on deserved, he showed on the cross when he died.
