Judges 16:19: His strength 'Lvent from him

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

His Strength in his obedience lay,
And when his vow he broke,
He cast the slighted gift away.
He first his God forsook.
Sunk into nature's helplessness,
Could neither fight, nor fly:
And such are all who fall firom grace,
And such alas, am I!
