Religion

Mark 13:9: Take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Be this, O Lord, our constant care.
Not how the destined cross to fly.
But meekly in Thy Spirit to bear,
The truth with zeal to testify,
To tremble at the wrath Divine,
Regardless of a mortal's frown.
And calm, like Thee, our lives resign.
And grasp through death the martyr's crown.
