Matthew 7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

O May we never more expose
Thy holy things Divine
To men profane, Thine open foes.
Resembling dogs and swine:
Saviour, repress our forward zeal
A scorner to reprove.
To tell the world what Christians / /,
And boast our perfect love.
