Acts 13:51: But they shook off the dust of their feet against, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
The dust shook off, shall rise
In judgment to condemn
Sinners, who dare the men despise,
That offer Christ to them;
The dust shook off shall prove
Salvation once was near,
But they refused the Master's love
Who spurn'd the messenger.
Who put their guides to flight,
Nor will the truth obey,
Reject with them the gospel light
And cast the salt away:
Who faithful men and just
Out of their pale expel,
Out of the church themselves they thrust,
Themselves they doom to hell.
