Religion
Acts 11:3: Ye murmur and accuse in vain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Ye murmur and accuse in vain,
That mingling with the worst of men
Fraternal love we show;
Our Master did with sinners eat;
His servants count it right and meet
In all His steps to go.
Who want the form of godliness
To them we must our love express;
But always ready are
A simple full account to give,
And with our angry brethren's leave
The matter to declare.
