Luke 4:14, 15: Tremble ye that preach the word

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Tremble ye that preach the word,.
Whose fame abroad is spread,
To the bosom of your Lord
Retire, and hide your head:
There your sin and weakness own,
Decrease and into nothing fall.
Glad that Christ is praised alone,
Is glorified by all.
