Leviticus 10:3: Aaron held his peace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Why should a living man complain
That sinners are struck dead?
Reprieved myself I still remain,
If punish'd in my seed:
Howe'er Thou deal'st with mine, or me,
O stop the murmuring groan;
Or let my only answer be.
Father, Thy will be done!
