Luke 9:50: We will not chide Thy followers, Lord

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

We will not chide Thy followers, Lord,
Distinct from us, who preach Thy word.
Who devils in Thy name expel,
And pluck poor sinners out of hell;
We dare not enviously deny
Their inward call to prophesy,
While faith is to their hearers given.
With God Himself sent down from heaven.
