CHAPTER VII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1812.
[The tongues, the hearts, the hands of men]
Is not this He, whom they seek to kill? But, &c.
—vii. 25, 26.
The tongues, the hearts, the hands of men
Are subject to Divine control,
God over all doth still restrain
Their rage against the faithful soul,
The faithful soul hath nought to fear
Though Satan and his host are near.

Thoughtless of what the world intends,
A Christian speaks and labours on:
Jesus His instrument defends,
Immortal till his work is done:
Jesus the conquering faith supplies,
And then bestows the heavenly prize.
