Matthew 24: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I Ask not, Lord, when time shall end,
Assured it soon shall end with me:
But lo Thy coming I attend,
To fit me for eternity,
Before my soul and body part,
To fix Thy kingdom in my heart.

Let others, curious to in(uire,
The signs of Thy appearing show;
Saviour, 'tis all my heart's desire,
Thy Spirit's reigning grace to know;
O could I now my Lord obey,
O could I live for God to-day!
