Ezra 5:5: What but Thy strength-inspiring eye

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

What but Thy strength-inspiring eye
Thy weakest servants could sustain?
Jesus, Thou dost with grace supply,
And lo, the heathen rage in vain.
They cannot make the workmen cease,
Or stop Thy preaching witnesses.
