Mark 13:21: I O What cause of humble fear

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I O What cause of humble fear!
We may phantoms vain pursue,
Take impostors for sincere,
A false Christ believe the true:
We may cease to watch and pray.
Slumber on the pinnacle,
Sure we cannot fall away
Dream of heaven and wake in hell!
