Isaiah 26: With my soul have I desired Thee in the night

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Through many a night of distress
My soul has its Saviour pursued,
And pined for a taste of His grace,
And long'd for a drop of His blood;
And still heavy-laden and faint
I look for my Lord from above,
To bring me the comfort I want,
The rest of assurance and love.
