Isaiah 6:13: Oft by Thy judgments shook

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Oft by Thy judgments shook,
Thine anger's furious blast.
The sturdy British oak
Its wither'd leaves hath cast;
Yet did its substance still remain.
For Jesus doth His church sustain.

Still may the holy seed
Our firm protection be.
And through our nation spread.
And prop the falling tree.
Till to our utmost height we rise,
By Christ transplanted to the skies.
