Luke 14: How doth he take the lowest place

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

How doth he take the lowest place
Who glories in the heights of grace?
And free from self-mistrusting fear
Assumes the perfect character?
If void of true humility.
No place among the saints hath he;
And if his pride he will not feel,
Shall have the lowest place — in hell.
