Religion

Psalm: Thee in the watches of the night

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thee in the watches of the night
Do I not. Lord, remember still.
And meditate with calm delight
On the dear counsels of Thy will?
Thy will is my perfection here;
And sighs for this my whole desire
To' attain Thy heavenly character.
And spotless in Thine arms expire.
