Matthew 5:24: First be reconciled to thy brother, ajid then come, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

In vain with angry hearts we dare
Nigh to Thine altar move.
Since neither sacrifice, nor prayer
Atones for want of love:
O may we each with each agree
Through Thine uniting grace.
Our gift shall then accepted be,
Our life of love and praise.
