John 12:34: Seeming contrarieties

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Seeming contrarieties
Faith with readiness receives:
Lifted up from earth He is,
Dies, and yet for ever Hves!
Thus His suffering saints beneath
Shame their way to glory see,
Find in the cold arms of death
Death is immortality.
