Psalm 5:7: Assisted by preventing grace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Assisted by preventing grace,
I bow me toward the holy place.
Faintly begin my God to fear.
His weak, external worshipper:
t This marlv denotes that the text is that of the Prayer- Book
Version.
Job xlii. ly — Psalm xiv. 7.
But if my Lord His blood apply,
Entering into the holiest I
Boldly approach my Father's throne,
And claim Him all in Christ my own.
