Judges 2:23: Therefore the Lord left those nations

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Refusing with our sin to part,
If still we hug it in our heart.
Though infinite in grace
God will not utterly expel.
But leave it in our flesh to dwell,
And plague us all our days.
