Isaiah 66:13, 14: With graces from above

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

With graces from above
Myself will comfort you,
And fondle with a kinder love
Than mothers ever knew;
Your joyful souls shall see
Jerusalem restored,
Your bones revived and strengthen'd be
By virtue from the Lord:

He in the heathen's sight
For you His hand shall raise,
The hand of His supporting might,
Of His enriching grace;
But dreadful to His foes
He shall His strength employ,
And crush whoe'er His church oppose.
And anti-Christ destroy.
