Jeremiah 33:6: I will bring it health and cure, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Physician of the sin-sick race.
Come with Thy plenitude of grace
To this poor dying soul.
The oil and wine of grace pour in,
And heal the desperate wounds of sin,
And make my spirit whole.

Ah, give me, Lord, in Thee to find
The spirit of an healthful mind,
The kingdom from above,
Thine utmost truth in me reveal,
Mine unbelief and misery heal
By perfect peace and love.

Thy presence doth my bliss ensure,
Thy presence is my nature's cure;
The truth, the peace Thou art,
And Thee possessing, I possess
Life, everlasting righteousness.
Perfection in my heart.
