Matthew 10:17: Beware of men, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Not through an all-suspecting fear
Would we in deserts hide,
Nor yet unguardedly sincere
In faithless man confide:
Arm'd with Thy wise benevolent mind
Our course we safely run,
Honour and love the ransom'd kind.
But trust in God alone.
