Genesis 12:3: In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I Come Thou universal Blessing,
Abraham's long-expected Seed,
Perfect peace, and joy unceasing
Through the ransom'd nations spread;
Devilish pride, and brutal passion
Far from every heart remove,
Bless us with Thy full salvation.
Bless us with Thy heavenly love.
