Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 35

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

Bowels of Divine compassion,
Love reveal'd in persons three,
God of grace and consolation,
Manifest Thyself to me:
Conscious of my blood-bought pardon,
Let me in Thine image rise:
Make my soul a water'd garden,
Give me back my paradise.
Make Thy goodness pass before me,
Glorious God Thyself proclaim,
To my first estate restore me,
Re-impress'd with Thy new name,
In the likeness of my Maker
Re-begotten from above,
Of Thy holiness partaker,
Fill'd with all the life of love.
