Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 37

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Saved by Thee, Happy we
Shall Thy throne inherit:
Here our heavenly banquet tasting,
In Thy love Joys we prove
Ever, ever lasting.

Rapturous anticipation!
Who believe We receive
Sensible salvation;
Silent bliss and full of glory,
In Thine eye While we lie
Prostrated before Thee.

Manna spiritual and hidden,
Perfect peace We possess,
Our recover'd Eden:
Till we find the fulness given
In that sight, Mercy's height,
Love's sublimest heaven!
