Matthew 6:5: They love to be seen of men

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lord, Thou know'st, I would be seat
Doing good by foolish men,
Nature still usurps a part,
More than shares with Thee my heart:
Jesus, set my nature right,
Shut the creature from my sight,
Thou mine only Object be,
More than all the world to me.
