Matthew 12:20: A bruised reed shall He not break, and, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

No, I find He never will,
(Jesus is a Saviour still,)
He who kindled my desire
Will not let the spark expire:
Love, that bears so long with me,
Shall obtain the victory,
All His power at last exert,
Fix the kingdom in my heart.
