John 6:70: I i leaves them all in humble fear

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I i leaves them all in humble fear,
While Judas He forbears to name,
That every faithful soul sincere
May ask if I the traitor am;
That each his helplessness may own,
Suspicious of himself alone.

O may I, Lord, with jealous care
Watch over my own feeble heart.
Mistrust myself, of sin beware.
And lest I should from Thee depart,
My soul into Thy keeping give,
And pray, and tremble, and believe.
