Isaiah 64:7: Is there then a power in man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Is there then a power in man
Himself from earth to raise?
Yes; or thou wouldst ne'er complain
We do not use Thy grace:
Yet if now my soul be stirr'd
To apprehend the God unknown.
Still from first to last, O Lord,
The work is all Thine own,
