Acts 26:27: Jesus' messenger at last

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus' messenger at last
Brings home the pointed word,
Seizes, holds the sinner fast
A captive for his Lord:
See, the vanquish'd monarch see!
He bows to a superior power,
Sinks as one who must agree,
And can resist no more.
