Mark 2:5: Son, thy sins be forgiven thee

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Saviour, Thy Spirit's power exert.
To seal my pardon on my heart.
To' assure me God is reconciled
And owns His dear adopted child,
Received into Thy family,
A member of Thy church and Thee.

Soon as I know my guilt removed
I know myself in Thee approved,
I feel that for Thy sake alone
A pardon'd sinner is a son,
And cry, constrain'd by love Divine,
The Father of my Lord is mine.
