Isaiah 1:9: Had not the Lord reserved a seed

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Had not the Lord reserved a seed,
A remnant saved by sovereign grace.
His judgments shower'd upon our head,
Had swallow'd up the British race.
Sunk us beneath the ambient wave,
And buried in a fiery grave.
