1 Thessalonians 5:21: Prove all things; hold fast that which is good

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

While, as Thy oracles enjoin,
We every doctrine prove,
That only faith we judge Divine
Which works by humble love,
Hold fast the word that comes from Thee,
And always shall endure,
The truth that makes Thy servants free,
And pure as Thou art pure.
