Religion

Numbers 14:11: Ah! Lord, with Thee we ask. How long

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Ah! Lord, with Thee we ask. How long
Shall men Thy patient Spirit grieve,
Thy power mistrust, Thy goodness wrong,
Thy faithful promise disbelieve?
Not all the wonders Thou hast wrought
Can yet embolden them to seize
The' inheritance Thy blood hath bought,
The land of rest and righteousness.
