Genesis 3:7: Know myself the same

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Know myself the same,
Disarm'd, without defence.
Exposed to misery and shame.
And stripp'd of innocence;
Struck (for the Judge draws nigh)
With horror, guilt, and fear,
How shall I from His presence fly,
Or in His sight appear I
