Matthew 13:26: Then appeared the tares also

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Rising with Thy chosen race
Token of the harvest near,
Lo, the' abusers of Thy grace,
Lo, the Gnostic tares appear
Yet with them we still grow on,
Mindful of Thy promise past,
Lord, we let the tares alone;
Thou shalt root them out at last.
