Job 12:14: Shut up in unbelief I groan

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Shut up in unbelief I groan.
Fast bound in misery:
What miracle of power unknown
Can set the captive free?
He only can release and save,
(Throughout my soul I feel,)
Who forced the barriers of the grave,
And burst the gates of hell.
