1 Corinthians 11:1, 390: But chiefly through my pride of heart

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

But chiefly through my pride of heart,
Great God, I vex Thy glorious eyes, ©
And force Thy Spirit to depart,
Till cast, like Satan from the skies,
I cry to Him that stain'd the tree,
To save incarnate fiends like me.
