Mark 13: Jesus, inspire the watchful power

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus, inspire the watchful power,
And set me on Thy cross's tower.
Till life's sad moment's o'er:
Here may I still my station keep,
And never fold my arms to sleep,
And never slumber more.
