Matthew 7: Ye partisans of every sect

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Ye partisans of every sect,
ho smallest motes in others see,
But never once yourselves suspect,
Stark blind with zeal and bigotry;
Reformers of the world who seem,
And judge as cannot all beside,
Ye have not yet cast out the beam
Of fierce uncharitable pride.
