Matthew 27:34: Worldly consolations see

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Worldly consolations see!
Mix'd with gall the wine they give!
But who dies the death for me,
Will not the support receive;
Will not lose one moment's pain;
Bears the full unlessen'd load.
Bears the rage of fiends and men,
Bears the utmost wrath of God!
