Acts 14:18: Max from adoring man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Max from adoring man
Can scarcely be withheld,
Yet urged a thousand times in vain
His due we will not yield
To God, who left the skies
Our sins and us to part,
And asks no other sacrifice
Than a poor broken heart.
