Mark 6:14: What though a Sadducee maintain

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

What though a Sadducee maintain
The soul doth with its body die,
The infidel believes again,
When conscience waked renews her cry.
Tormented by the saint oppress'd,
The tyrant must his judgment feel,
Nor can he in his palace rest
Who bears about him his own hell.
