Luke 16:22: The beggar died, and was carried by the angels, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Worn out with grief, and want, and pain,
The beggar dies, and lives again
Beyond conception bless'd.
By flaming ministers convey'd
To realms of joy, he rests his head
On his Redeemer's breast.
