Religion

Acts 24:22: Not hasty, not precipitate

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Not hasty, not precipitate,
To sentence, or to clear,
T is wisdom in a judge to wait
And all informants hear;
He then shall to the utmost know,
And Jesu's servant find
A minister of good below,
A friend of all mankind.
