Jonah 2:7: Even now my tempted spirit faints

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Even now my tempted spirit faints,
But calls Thy days of flesh to mind:
Remember Thou Thine own complaints.
And let my prayer acceptance find;
Jesus, my tears, and feeble cries
Unite and mingle with Thine own,
So shall my wailing pierce the skies,
And bring the Spirit from Thy throne.
