Proverbs 13:12: Thee, Lord, alone do I require

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thee, Lord, alone do I require,
My single wish, my sole desire
In earth and heaven Thou art;
Thy love supplies mine every want,
Come, O Thou Tree of life, and plant
An Eden in my heart.
