Judges 16:21: Thine own in Samsoti's, state behold

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thine own in Samsoti's, state behold,
Impotent wretch, by sin allured.
To Satan and his children sold.
Blinded, in brazen chains secured.
Thy loss of liberty and sight,
The wages of thy folly feel.
And groan consign'd to endless night.
The scorn of earth, and drudge of hell!
