Matthew 19:25, 26: O What a speaking look was there

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

O What a speaking look was there!
Cast it in pitying love on me,
To chase the clouds of anxious care.
Set my tumultuous spirit free,
Compose the storm that works within,
And save me from my bosom sin.
