Zephaniah 3:13: The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus, my vehement spirit pants
To join the fellowship of saints,
The simple Israelites indeed,
Who nor in act, nor word transgress,
Preserved in purity and peace.
From guile and sin for ever freed.

With these may I my lot receive,
And by the silent waters live,
And on the hidden manna feast.
With these in pastures green lie down,
Assured that none shall take my crown,
Or break mine everlasting rest.
