Mark 3:23: He called them unto Him, and said, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus' blacken'd follower may
His own innocency clear.
Inconsistent lies display,
Guard the simple and sincere:
Call'd sometimes for God to speak.
Foulest slanders to disprove.
Then he answers mild and meek,
Full of truth and power and love.
