2 Samuel 6:7: God smote Uzzah

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

A Voice is in his blood!
Smote for the rash offence.
He warns us to rejoice in God
With deepest reverence.
And trembling at the sign
Of our Creator near,
To treat the holy things Divine
With wise and holy fear!
