Matthew 21:12: Saviour, who dost with anger see

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Saviour, who dost with anger see
The lusts which steal my heart from Thee,
The thieves out of Thy temple chase,
And plant Thy Spirit in their place,
And when my God inhabits there,
My heart shall be a house of prayer.
