Joshua 7:18: Lord, if some secret sin of mine

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lord, if some secret sin of mine
Doth now for public judgments call,
Obstruct the course of grace Divine,
And bring Thy righteous wrath on all;
Before the dreadful day o'ertake,
When sinners shall their doom receive,
O may I here confess, forsake,
Abhor the cursed thing, and live.
