Matthew 18:33: Ye pitiless, hard-hearted men

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Ye pitiless, hard-hearted men.
Pardon to others who deny,
Ye lose your grace", received in vain.
And soon ye in your sins shall die:
Harsh to your fellow-servants here
Who rigorously exact your due
When Christ doth in the clouds appear
Judgment alone remains for you.
