Matthew 10:41: Through zeal for piety sincere

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Through zeal for piety sincere
I would receive, esteem, embrace
Thine every pious worshipper.
Who follows after righteousness:
Jesus, I make Thy brethren mine.
And serve in love's simplicity,
Till from those gracious lips Divine
I hear " Ye did it unto Me!"
