 | CHAPTER VII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
2506.
[How different Christ from Moses here!]
Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian, &c.
—vii. 28.
How different Christ from Moses here!
He came not to destroy but save,
Not death but life to minister
And ransom sinners from the grave;
He came, our sins, not us to kill,
Our souls and God again to join,
With life and larger life to fill,
With life, and sanctity Divine.
He came not to destroy but save,
Not death but life to minister
And ransom sinners from the grave;
He came, our sins, not us to kill,
Our souls and God again to join,
With life and larger life to fill,
With life, and sanctity Divine.
But slighted and repulsed by men
The people whom He loved so well,
He bids His servants count the gain
Of all their ministerial zeal:
Lord, we expect the same return
If sharers of Thy charity,
Objects of universal scorn,
And hated by the world, like Thee.
The people whom He loved so well,
He bids His servants count the gain
Of all their ministerial zeal:
Lord, we expect the same return
If sharers of Thy charity,
210
And hated by the world, like Thee.
