Lamentations 1:12: i. nothing to yon, all yc that pass by?

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Oft have I unconcern'd pass'd by,
Nor stopp'd on Calvary,
So small a thing, that Thou shouldst die.
Or nothing. Lord, to me!
But now I see, the bleeding cross
Is all in all to man.
To me Thy death is life, Thy loss
Is mine eternal gain.
