Daniel 6:10: Thus, Lord, throughout my life would

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thus, Lord, throughout my life would!
At stated times Thy grace implore.
At morning, noon, and night, draw nigh
Thy throne, to worship and adore.
For mercy every moment pray.

And never from Thy praises cease.
But glide insensibly away
To raptures of eternal bliss.
Let the infernal lion roar,
I still approacli Thy throne of grace,
Daily present, as heretofore.

My sacrifice of prayer and praise:
Before my God by Satan's host
Found on my knees might I but be,
I'd glory, that my life it cost,
And die from man, to live with Thee.
