Matthew 25:40: To Christ who would not gladly give

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

To Christ who would not gladly give
Raiment, or food, or ease.
And in His substitutes relieve
His Saviour in distress?
Saviour, where'er conceal'd Thou art,
Thee may I plainly see,
And always bear it on my heart,
"Ye did it unto Me!"
