Matthew 26:22: Lord, is it I?

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Saviour, Thou seest the fear
Which haunts me night and day,
My heart so weak, my sin so near.
Shall I not Thee betray?
Ah, do not let me live
To cause the dire offence,
Rather this instant now forgive.
And snatch me spotless hence.
