 | CHAPTER XIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1096.
[Christ by the youth's escape makes known]
He left the linen cloth, and fled from them, &c.
—xiv. 52.
Christ by the youth's escape makes known
His power and guardian care,
And thus admonishes His own
To fly the coming snare:
Shows the malicious world's design
His followers all to seize,
And bids us still the storm decline
Of furious wickedness.
His power and guardian care,
And thus admonishes His own
To fly the coming snare:
Shows the malicious world's design
His followers all to seize,
And bids us still the storm decline
Of furious wickedness.
Weakest of Thy disciples, young
In inexperienced grace,
I dare not meet the' outrageous throng,
Or now Thy cross embrace:
Sufficient strength to die with Thee
Yet while I cannot find,
Naked, I from their violence flee,
And leave the world behind.
