Matthew 10:28: Fear Him which is able to destroy both soul, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

AVho would not dread the frown of Him
Whose anger burns unquenchable,
Whose breath like a sulphureous stream,
Kindles, and blows the flames of hell!
Our God is a consuming fire.
And fastening on the sinful soul,
Destroys what never can expire
Long as eternal ages roll.
