2 Kings 10:11: Thus will I, Lord, Thy grace employ

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thus will I, Lord, Thy grace employ,
My former master to destroy,
Drive on, determined not to spare,
And shoot, and stab, and kill, and tear,
Till all of AhaVs house is slain,
And not one single sin remain:
Thou, Saviour, then shalt reign alone,
And call me up to share Thy throne.
