Mark 9:35: If any man desire to be first, the same shall, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Waiting at his Saviour's feet,
Till Jesus bids him rise,
He alone is truly great
Who greatness dares despise.
Courts the dignity supreme
Obedient to his Master's call.
Seeks the praise that comes from Him
By ministering to all.
