Matthew 17:4: Good for us, Thy joy to share

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Good for us, Thy joy to share,
And Tabor's glory see.
Better still, Thy cross to bear,
And bleed on Calvary:
Best of all, when nature dies
Echoing back Thy final groan:
Then to ZioJi's heights we rise.
And hail Thee on Thy throne!
