Job 31:23: Salvation from the Lord

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Salvation from the Lord
Our comfort we enjoy.
Yet still we tremble at His word
Who can the soul destroy:
The first unfallen man
Was with a threatening awed.
How then should we the love maintain
Without the fear of God?
