Acts 19:36: Ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The universal fault
O how shall I eschew?
Precipitate in thought,
In word and action too,
My nature's turbulence I own,
And look for help in Christ alone.
