Matthew 26:5: Men who never care for God

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Men who never care for God
Never for His worship care,
Count as lost the gifts bestow'd
On the' external house of prayer:
Yet our Lord the nard receives
Author of religion pure,
Yet the precedent He leaves
Shall from age to age endure.
