Acts 15:26: Unworthy of the ministry

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Unworthy of the ministry
Most unqualified is he
Who doth not life despise,
For Jesus and His church below,
And freely to the mountain go
Where his Redeemer dies.

Jesus, if Thou my Master art,
Bless me with the martyr's heart,
The ministerial grace;
I then Thy ready servant am,
And all the virtues of Thy name
In life and death confess.
