Acts 7:41: Who to some brutish lust submit

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Who to some brutish lust submit
And seek therein your happiness,
The ancient sin ye still repeat,
The creature for your God confess;
Prostrate before the idol fall,
Vile worshippers of sordid vice,
Your goods, your health, your time, your all,
Your souls to self ye sacrifice.
