Acts 14:14: Praise is the proof, the touchstone praise

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Praise is the proof, the touchstone praise
Which Jesus' faithful servants tries:
To sinners who dispense His grace,
Dare ye refuse their sacrifice?
The most refined applause of men
Incense prepared with nicest art,
Can ye reject with just disdain,
Can ye abhor with all your heart?
