Religion

Acts 28:19: Not that I had ought to accuse my nation of

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

We never can recriminate
Who to the Lamb belong,
Nor dare our fiercest haters hate,
Or render wrong for wrong;
When charged with crimes they cannot prove,
The truth to justify
We speak constrain'd; but tenderest lo t
Prevents a sharp reply.
