Religion

Acts 24:26: He hoped... that money should have been, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Silver and gold he none possess'd,
Poor follower of a Master poor,
But with substantial riches blessM,
Riches which evermore endure;
To men that sold themselves for nought,
An instrument their souls to save,
The promised liberty unbought,
Freely as he received, he gave.
