Isaiah 7:9: As children we continue long

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

As children we continue long,
And feebly o'er the desert rove,
Who doubt Thy power to make us strong.
Thy will to perfect us in love:
But if I can confide in Thee,
Thou wilt Thine hallowing grace exert,
Settle, confirm, and stablish me.
And fix Thy nature in my heart.
