Mark 16:6: Be not affrighted: Ve seek Jesus

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Who from the world retreat
Their Saviour-God to meet,
Trials strange at first they prove,
Seized with horrible affright.
But their fear gives place to love,
Holy joy and pure delight.

Buried where Jesus lies
Out of His grave we rise,
Know that there He lies no more,
Feel the grace on us bestow'd,
Conscious of His quickening power,
Fill'd with all the life of God.
