Romans 2:13: Not the hearers...but the doers of the law shall, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Nor all that hear the word,
But who through faith obey,
Shall stand before their glorious Lord,
Acquitted in that day:
Who freely saved by grace,
Their pardon here receive,
And live the life of holiness,
They shall for ever live.

The peace Thy people know,
Jesus, in me reveal,
With grace in all Thy paths to go,
And all Thy words fulfil:
Then, then, Thy servant praise,
Supremely justified,
And give the crown of righteousness,
And seat me by Thy side.
