Luke 21:35: The men of wealth and character

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The men of wealth and character.
The men of earth who settle here,
And count the world their home,
Entangled in the toils of hell,
Shall all the weight of vengeance feel,
And all the wrath to come.

But we who God in Jesus know,
Superior to the things below.
To every creature love:
Beyond the fowler's net we fly,
On eagle's wings divide the sky.
And dwell with Christ above.
