Today's cross: A simple pine cross given to Pastor Charles when he lived in
Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Charles Wesley
LET the beasts their breath resign,
Strangers to the life divine;
Who their God can never know,
Let their spirit downward go.
Ye for higher ends were born:
Ye may all to God return;
Dwell with him above the sky;
Why will ye for ever die?
Ye, on whom he favours showers,
Ye, possess’d of nobler powers,
Ye, of reason’s powers possest,
Ye, with will and memory blest!
Ye, with finer sense endued,
Creatures capable of God;
Noblest of his creatures, why,
Why will ye for ever die?
Ye, who own his record true,
Ye, his chosen people, you,
Ye, who call the Saviour Lord,
Ye, who read his written word,
Ye, who see the Gospel light,
Claim a crown in Jesu’s right;
Why will ye, ye Christians, why
Will the house of Israel die?
