Haggai 2:4: Be strong, O Zerubbabel;...and be strong, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Great Builder of Thy church, appear.
And stir up instruments to rear
An house which Thoumay'st own for Thine;
Rulers, and priests, and people raise.
And strengthen by Thy promised grace
To labour in the work Divine:

The Spirit that our deliverance wrought.
Us out of BahcVs bondage brought.
Continue to Thy servants still;
What Thou hast now begun, complete.
And shining from the mercy-seat
Thine house with all Thy glory fill.
