Religion

John 1:25: v That he might go to his own place

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

He made the direful place his own,
For devils, not for man prepared,
Predestined by himself alone,
The traitor claim'd a fiend's reward,
Author of his own ruin fell
A bold intruder into hell.
