Isaiah 2: Thou who all our works hast wrought

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thou who all our works hast wrought
Shouldst be extoll'd alone:
Every self-exalting thought
In us, O Christ, bring down;
Nature's subtlest pride abase,
The self-deluded crowd reprove,
Boasters of their richest grace,
And of their perfect love.
