1 Corinthians 10:32: Give none offence, neither to the Fews, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Ir bold, the highest place I claim,
My own perfection testify,
Insist that a pure saint I am,
And cannot fall, and cannot die,
Is it a great mistake or small?
A fault that stumbles none? or all?

I thus the pious /eze offend,
Who trembles at a God unknown;
Darkness I make the Heathen blend
With light, and all condemn for one,
The weak I hurt, the lame mislead,
And grieve the /svaelites indeed.
