Matthew 19:26: Impossible it is with man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Impossible it is with man
To save the rich who riches love.
But the almighty Jesus can
The plague out of their heart remove,
Root up the covetous desire,
And snatch a miser from the fire.
