Numbers 14:34: The saving promise is for all

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The saving promise is for all,
And all may live of Christ possess'd,
Yet thousands in the desert fall,
And never enter into rest:
By God ordain'd to life alone,
Through wilful incredulity
Destroy'd, they in that day shall own
It was no absolute decree!
