John 4:9: The jews have no dealings with the Samaritans

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Contrary sects we see
In this alone agree.
Sects that bear the Christian name.
Each from each in heart removed,
Mutual intercourse disclaim.
Hate the souls whom God hath loved.

As heretics and foes
Each other they oppose,
Every church the chosen race,
Every party is the bride.
Strangers, enemies to grace,
Heathens all the world beside.
