Religion

Acts 1:18: This man purchased a field with the reward, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Terrible Thy judgments are
On those who wealth procure
At their Lord's expense, and dare
Defraud Thee in the poor;
Greedy priests who pant for gain,
Partakers of the traitor's hire,
They their full reward obtain
In everlasting fire.
