Acts 25: And looks for wisdom in that hour

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

And looks for wisdom in that hour
Their common enemies to' o'erpower.

The Lord of all, he knows,
In whom he puts his trust,
Free utterance bestows
And answers in the just;
And hence he on the word relies
Calm as a saint in paradise.

While standing at the bar
He hears the trumpet's call,
Descending in the air,
Beholds the Judge of all,
And sits with Jesus on His seat
And sees the world beneath his feet.
