John 3:29: He that hath the bride is the bridegroom

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

He will not with His purchase part,
He holds His consort in His heart:
But is my narrow sect the bride.
And heathens all the church beside?
