Mark 7:18, 19: Yes, by faith's enlighten'd eye

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Yes, by faith's enlighten'd eye
We corruption's fountain see,
For relief to Christ apply.
Bring our evil hearts to Thee:
Jesus, Thou to us hast shown
All this filth of inbred sin.
Heal the plague through which we groan,
Cleanse the house by entering in.
