Acts 14:15: We also are men of like passions with you

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

As in the watery glass
Face corresponds to face,
The heart of man to man
In pleasure and in pain,
With strictest S)'mpathy agrees,
And feels the same infirmities.

Even saints by grace renew'd
Dread to be counted good,
Confess their own desert
When God hath cleansed their heart,
When all His image they regain
They rank themselves with sinful men.
