2 Kings 5:12: No: for the Lord is not in them

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

No: for the Lord is not in them,
x. Joi'daii s consecrated stream:
And by the means Himself ordains
We all may wash away our stains,
A leprous world may be restored
By virtue of the gospel-word,
Our spirit, soul, and flesh renew'd
In the pure laver of His blood.
