Isaiah 1:5: Why should ye be stricken any more?, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Ah! why should ye be stricken more?
Seems our God to give us o'er,
As past His reach of grace.
When mercy's kind intent is cross'd,
And all His chastisements are lost
On such an harden'd race.
