Religion

Acts 28:14: And were desired to tarry with them seven days

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The prisoner of the Lord,
But His apostle too,
He own'd the pardoning word
Was every sinner's due,
Nor could, wherever sent, delay
His evangelic debt to pay.

Employ in every place
With precious souls he found,
And made their hearts confess
The word could not be bound.
Which captive leads captivity
And bids a sinful world be free.
