Religion

Psalm: Thou hast Icrved righteousness, and hated iniquity

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

But I am all to sin inclined,
And hatred against God my mind,
Till Thou Thine own impart:
Pity a sad reverse of Thee,
And from myself to set me free.
Come, Lord, into my heart.

I then regenerate from above
Shall sin abhor like Thee, and love
The perfect righteousness,
Partake the nature of my Head,
And in Thy image live, to spread
Mine utmost Saviour's praise.
