Mark 12: How bless'd the people are

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

How bless'd the people are —
Peculiarly His own,
To whom He doth His will declare.
And makes His Godhead known!
Whate'er He doth require
He graciously imparts.
And writes the perfect law entire
Upon their loving hearts.
Ah, tell it. Lord, to me,
That Thou art God alone:

My only God in Jesus be.
Thy well-beloved Son:
Ah, fill for J esus' sake
My heart with love Divine,
And now the full possession take.
And keep it always Thine.
