Still the Stones!

"And when He was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God for all the mighty works that they had seen.... And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke Thy disciples. And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out" (Luke 19:37-40).

Should stones cry out instead of me,
As I look on complacently?
Should rocks proclaim my Savior's praise,
While I neglect to tell His ways?

Be still, you stones, as well you should!
I will declare my God is good!
How can I stand by silently,
Since Jesus gave Himself for me?
