Habakkuk 3:19: My strength when Thou, O Jesus, art

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

My strength when Thou, O Jesus, art,
My soul though halt and lame.
Runs swiftly, as the bounding hart.
Exulting in Thy name;
Beyond the reach of sin, above
The world, I then ascend,
Walk in the mount of holiest love,
And talk with God my Friend!
