Acts 17:5: They troubled the people and the rulers

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Moved by every wind the sea,
Soon the multitude is stirr'd,
Soon the world incensed may be
Gainst the servants of our Lord:
Mob and magistrates are join'd
On the messengers to fall;
Then the strength of God we find,
Then through Christ we conquer all.
