Isaiah 2:18: The idols He shall utterly abolish

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

But when, most gracious God, and true,
Wilt Thou the work of wonder show,
The man of sin reveal,
And then Thy glorious power exert.
Destroy the idols in my heart,
And their destruction seal?

Manner and time I leave to Thee,
Humbly assured the thing shall be.
Through love's almighty power,
Thou wilt destroy whate'er is I,
Self, nature, unbelief shall die.
And pride shall be no more.
