Matthew 23:24: Hear this, who at a trifle strain

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Hear this, who at a trifle strain,
So strict — and obstinate — and proud,
Who keep the private rules of men,
And break the open laws of God!
