Deuteronomy 32: Thrice welcome word to those who live

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thrice welcome word to those who live
By faith in Him, their hearts receive
With true affection fill'd,
Who feel redemption in His blood,
And happy in the peace of God
Enjoy their pardon seal'd.

Before I render up my breath
Stronger than sin, and hell, and death.
Thy love I long to know.
Thy love omnipotent impart,
To strengthen and renew my heart,
And let my spirit go.
