1 Chronicles 21:13: Let me fall into the hand of the Lord

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Gracious Thou, when most severe:
Let me, Lord,' myself resign,
(If I must be punish'd here)
Fall into the Hands Divine,
Hands that this frail creature made,
Hands that still my soul sustain,
Hands which for my folly bled;
Bled the balm that heals my pain.
