Numbers 33:56: The sins which men at Thy command

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The sins which men at Thy command
Refuse, O God, to' expel.
Shall sweep them off the promised land.
Shall drive them out to hell;
The lusts which for the Saviour's sake
They will not mortify,
Shall bring Thy threaten'd curse, and make
Their souls for ever die.
