by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lo! I in simi)licity
Receive Thy gracious word,
What it means I leave to Thee
My sanctifying Lord:
I shall know at that glad day
When born of God I sin no more,
Ceaseless in Thy Spirit pray,
And in Thy truth adore.
967. 0 let not 77line heart be inclined to any" evil thing. — cxli. 4.!
What cannot the Almighty do?
When by the greatness of Thy power
My heart, O Lord, Thou dost renew.

My heart shall yield to sin no more.
Shall never more to sin incline,
For ever fiU'd with love Divine.
