Genesis 2:7: Father, see this living clod

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Father, see this living clod.
This spark of heavenly fire!
Lo, my soul, the breath of God.
Doth after God aspire:
Let it still to heaven ascend,
Till I my Principle rejoin,
Blended with my glorious End,
And lost in Love Divine.
