1 Samuel 12:24: If mercies without end could move

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

If mercies without end could move
So Ijase, so hard an heart as mine,
Its whole capacity of love
Had surely long ago been Thine:
Lord, for Thine endless mercies' sake,
My stubborn misery relieve.
And to Thyself this moment take
The heart which I can never give.
