Matthew 24:23: Lo, here I?, Christ, or there

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

They bear the spurious character,
Who say that Christ is only here!
"We are the church of Christ possess'd;
Heathens and infidels the rest!"
But taught of God His people know
He freely doth Himself bestow,
On every church, to none confined,
Saviour, and Lord of all mankind.
