Acts 26:21: For this let fiery zealots seize

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

For this let fiery zealots seize,
(If Thou the ruffians' hands unbind;)
Me in the courts of holiness,
The temple's foe, they still may find:
Assured that Thou art always near,
I come to suffer all Thy will,
By love Divine forbid to fear
The men who can this body kill.
