Religion

Mark 4: Yet I cannot proudly scorn

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Yet I cannot proudly scorn
Those without, who nothing know:
Of Thy word and Spirit born
All I am to grace I owe.
Those without may be brought in,
I receive the faith in vain,
I may forfeit it by sin,
They by grace the kingdom gain.
