Judges 13:23: If the Lord were pleased to kill lis, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Me, if purposed to destroy
For past unfaithfulness,
Would my God vouchsafe to' employ,
And still so strangely bless?
Take, O Lord, the servant take,
Who dost the services receive.
With Thyself, for Jesu's sake,
Eternally to live.
