Job 23:3: O that I knew where I might find Him

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Where but on yonder tree
Or if too rich thou art.

Sink into poverty,
And find Him in thine heart.
r O WHERE shall I wander to find
Whom once I enjoy'd in my heart,
My Lord, ever loving and kind,
Till forced by my sin to depart.
He left me in darkness and pain;

Most wretched of all the lost race;
O what shall I do to regain
The light of His heavenly face!
