Matthew 19:24: A Rich man saved! it cannot be

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

A Rich man saved! it cannot be
But by a more abundant grace;
Superior love must set him free,
Or justly doom'd to his own place.
The vile idolater shall feel
That riches were the gate of hell.
