Mark 12:8: Murder'd on earth )y Jeivs He was

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Murder'd on earth )y Jeivs He was.
When once they nail'd Him to the cross;
But we renew His deadly pains
Who glorious and triumphant reigns,
Against His life contriving still,
By twice ten thousand ways we kill.
By twice ten thousand sins we slay,
And crucify Him every day.
