"The twelve were with Him, and certain women... which ministered unto Him of their substance." Luke 8:1-3.
Thy blest Redeemer—view Him
Accompanied by few;
"The twelve," and lowly "women"—
Thy Savior's retinue.
"Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My
Father and He shall presently give me more than
twelve, legions of angels?" Matthew 26:53
Behold. THEM in the garden;
No legions summoned there;
Nor loyal hearts resentful
Of insults He must bear.
“My God, My God why past Thou forsaken Me?":Matthew 27:46.
And e'en by God forsaken,
behold Him on the tree;
Alone He bled and suffered,
Laid down His life for thee.
"Behold I and the children which God hath given Me." Hebrews 2:13.
And now in resurrection,
"Behold," His Word declares,
The blessed place of Sonship
With His redeemed He shares.
