Joshua 7:21: "I Saw, and coveted, and took!"

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

"I Saw, and coveted, and took!"
The progress this of every sin;
While death, admitted by a look.
Lets everlasting judgments in:
But if an eye of faith on Thee
I turn, directed by Thy word,
Jesus mine Advocate I see,
I see, desire, and take my Lord.
