Matthew 26:44: O Could I thus my wants declare

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

O Could I thus my wants declare
In humble persevering prayer,
With true simplicity
Repeat my words reduced to one;
Or prostrate in a speechless groan
Present my heart to Thee!
