1 Chronicles 28:9: Do we not all from Thee receive

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Do we not all from Thee receive
The dreadful power to seek, or leave?
The dreadful power through grace I use.
And chose of God, my God I choose:
Thee will I seek while life shall last;
Ah! do not from Thy presence cast.
But now, even now be found of me.
And let my soul be hid in Thee.
