Isaiah 60:15: Whereas thou hast forsaken been

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Whereas thou hast forsaken been,
Abhorr'd by all the human race,
A church which none would enter in.
Or help, or pity thy distress;
I will Myself the wastes repair
And distant times with joy shall see
Thy beauteous charms completely fair.
When all My fulness is in thee.
