Nehemiah: O God, at Thy command we rise

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

O God, at Thy command we rise,
Thy glorious name to bless.
Thee the great Lord of earth and skies
We joyfully confess;
Our joy is now to sing of Thee,
To triumph in I'hy love,
And this (transporting thought!) shall be
Our endless work above.
