Matthew 26:21: One of you shall betray, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The root of every ill
Thine eye discerns in me.
The wandering of my sinful will,
My inbred treachery:
Do Thou my will restrain,
Nor suffer it to rove,
But save the feeblest child of man
By pure almighty love.
