Isaiah 66:12: For I My Sion's peace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

For I My Sion's peace
Will as a stream extend:
Which still runs on with large increase,
In boundless bliss to end:
The riches of her grace
The Gentiles too shall know,
And pour their glory in, to raise
And make her joy o'erflow.

The church shall then appear
In full felicity;
And every gospel-minister
A tender nurse shall be;
Her children dwell at ease
With every comfort bless'd,
While dandled on their mother's knees,
And cherish'd in her breast.
