On His Wife's Sickness. (1751)
From Hymns and Poems, Chiefly Relating to Events in the Personal History of the Rev. Charles Wesley · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
See, gracious Lord, with pitying eyes,
I,ow at Thy feet a sufferer lies.
Thy fatherly chastisement proves.
And sick she is whom Jesus loves.
Thy angels plant around her bed.
And let Thy hand support her head;
Thy j)ower her pain to joy convert,
Thy love revive her drooping heart.
Thy love her soul and body heal,
And let her every moment feel
The' atoning blood by faith applied,
The balm that drops from Jesu's side.
