CHAPTER XII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
2629.
[God passes kings and conquerors by]
A damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
—xii. 13.
God passes kings and conquerors by,
And lets them in oblivion lie,
But doth to everlasting fame
Consign a simple damsel's name.
Throughout the church He makes it known
That goodness we in all may own,
In saints of every rank approve
Their joyful zeal, and patient love.
