Matthew 15:14: Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Let him alone, the blindfold guide.
Stir not the hornet's nest,
Or rashly tempt the furious pride
Of a revengeful priest:
His ignorance you cannot heal.
His envious wrath avert,
Or help the stubbornness of will,
The blindness of his heart.
