1 Corinthians 4:13: Lames of God, we would submit

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lames of God, we would submit
To our cruel treatment here,
Humbly, when defamed, entreat,
Modest at the bar appear;
If the world our 'answer seek,
Lamb-like let our answer be;
Or let patient silence speak,
Tell them, we belong to Thee.
