Job 13:25: Wilt Thou break a leaf driven to and fro?, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Still wilt Thou put a worm to grief,
The stubble dry, the wither'd leaf
Pursue, and break in me?
What honour can Thy greatness gain
By crushing a weak child of man,
Who cannot strive with Thee?
