Religion

Mark 14:11: When they heard it, they were glad

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

How sad the triumph of an hour,
How short the joy of human fiends.
Which leaves them to the tempter's power,
And in eternal sorrow ends!
