Matthew 18:24: Immensely great the debt of man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Immensely great the debt of man
Compell'd we are to own
When all we have, and are, and can
Belongs to God alone;
Our time and thoughts are His, not ours,
Our actions, words, desires,
And all our faculties and powers
He as His due requires.
