James 2:20: But art thou willing to know, O empty man Gr., &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

But art thou willing now to own
Thou empty, self-deceiving man,
The faith, like thine, which is not shown
By works, is false, and dead, and vain,.
A carcase destitute of breath,
Which drags thee down to endless death?
