CHAPTER IV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
2434.
[Their hate they can no further show]
They let them go, finding nothing how they, &c.
—iv. 21.
Their hate they can no further show,
Constrain'd to let the preachers go,
Though thirsting for their blood:
What power obstructs the fierce career
Of men, who God disdain to fear?
They fear the multitude.
Constrain'd to let the preachers go,
Though thirsting for their blood:
What power obstructs the fierce career
Of men, who God disdain to fear?
They fear the multitude.
Elders, and priests, and rulers rage,
Against the Lord their powers engage;
His work the people own,
His truth and ministers embrace,
And glorify the God of grace
For all which He hath done.
Against the Lord their powers engage;
His work the people own,

And glorify the God of grace
For all which He hath done.
The people praise a pardoning God,
His miracles of healing show'd
On young and old confess;
They see His hand with joyful eyes,
And heal'd themselves through Jesus rise
A cloud of witnesses!
His miracles of healing show'd
On young and old confess;
They see His hand with joyful eyes,
And heal'd themselves through Jesus rise
A cloud of witnesses!
