Genesis 32:10: Less than Thy least of mercies

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Less than Thy least of mercies I
Myself would every moment feel,
Worthy the second death to die.
Worthy the hottest flames of hell;
I would the smallest crumbs of grace
Beneath the Master's table eat,
And till I see Thy glorious face
Lie here, self-loathing at Thy feet.
