Mark 12:3: Conscience when we refuse to hear

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Conscience when we refuse to hear,
And quite throw oft" our gracious fear,
The serious thought resist, repel,
Our heart against conviction steel,
Tis then the messenger we slight,
Entreat the Sender with despite,
By violence force Him to depart.
And chase His Spirit from our heart.
