Hymns on the Trinity, 35

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

Not His own will, as man, to do,
From heaven the world's Redeemer came:
But as the' eternal God and true,
His and His Father's is the same:
The Son we as His Sire adore,
The glorious co-eternal Son;
In will, in nature, and in power,
The Sender and the Sent are One.

Lord over all, I at Thy feet
Expect Thy sovereign will to know:
The word of pardoning grace repeat,
And touch, and make me white as snow:
I cannot doubt Thy power to heal;
Bid all my filthiness depart,
Speak the almighty word I will,
And purify this leprous heart.
