Psalm: Thou who so long hast saved me here

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thou who so long hast saved me here,
A little longer save,
Till freed from sin, and freed from fear,
I sink into a grave;
Till glad I lay this body down.

Thy servant. Lord, attend,
And O! my life of mercies crown
With a triumphant end!
893. I will make mention of Thy righteousness only. — Ixxi. 14. -f
Let others of their virtue boast,
And call it all their own,
I in the only merit trust
Of God's most holy Son:
The righteousness by Jesus wrought
Shall all my evil hide,
Till deep into my Spirit brought
It shows me sanctified.
