Acts 7:4: From thence, when his father was dead, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Who Jesu's word esteem
And own Him for our Head,
The world to us and we to them
Are crucified, and dead:
Renouncing our first birth
With the desires of men,
We pass from all the things of earth:
And then our Canaan gain.
