Acts 27:11: How should a prisoner poor and bound

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

How should a prisoner poor and bound
The mariners advise?
A Christian is of judgment sound.
And wiser than the wise;
By providential love employ'd
He serves our greatest need;
And artists too when taught of God
In their own art exceed.
