Zechariah: Lord of Hosts, from Thee we take

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lord of Hosts, from Thee we take
The power to pray, and mourn.
We our sins confess, forsake.
And thus to God we turn:
Turn to us in pardoning grace,
Turn in blessings from above,
All the life of holiness,
And all the heaven of love.
