Luke 20:18: Who in his mean condition here

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Who in his mean condition here
Refused the humbled Son of man,
Induced His righteous wrath severe
And perish'd, without mercy slain;
Who scorn Him on His glorious tiirone,
More harden'd than rebellious y?7C'j-,
His judgments shall on them come down,
His vengeance shall for ever bruise.

Who on Thy mystic body fall,
J'hy church, O Lord, they cannot shock,
But broken fly, and scatter'd all
Like dashing glass against a rock;
And who their fearful state can tell,
Vhen Christ to' avenge His saints shall come.
His whole almighty wrath reveal.
And fix their everlasting doom!
