Mark 10:25: Made wiUing by Thy gracious call

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Made wiUing by Thy gracious call,
We have left our earthly all.
Our heavenly Lord to find:
But help us by Thy Spirit still
To leave our pride and fleshly will,
To cast ourselves behind.

The gifts Thou didst Thyself bestow
Give us, Saviour, to forego.
If Thou revoke Thine own,
In life and death to follow Thee
And cry, expiring on the tree.
Thine only will be done!
