Matthew 7:2: Intentions, hearts to God are known

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Intentions, hearts to God are known,
The Judge that always judges right:
Usurp not then His awful throne
To brand the secret hypocrite;
Or God in righteousness extreme
To mark what thou hast done amiss,
Shall thee with hypocrites condemn
To Tophefs bottomless abyss.
