Acts 6:9: Who Jesus' work resolves to do

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Who Jesus' work resolves to do
Will always contradiction meet,
In every age disputers new
Satan's strong arguments repeat.
But all the hellish sophists yield
To one with heavenly wisdom fill'd.

Champion of God, in Jesus' might,
In Jesus' Spirit he goes on,
Single against a world to fight;
He treads their baffled reasons down.
And all the' opposers of his Lord
Quells with the hammer of the word.
