Luke 2:21: Saviour, let the grace supplied

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Saviour, let the grace supplied
And merited by Thee
Circumcise my nature's pride.
And heart impurity;
By Thy Spirit's law within
Redeem me from my inbred stains,
Quite destroy the man of sin
And purge his last remains.

To Thy holy saving name
I for deliverance run;
Save from fear, and grief, and shame,
A soul by sin undone;
Lord, on me, even me exert
Thy right and power, and sovereignty.
Speak Thy name into my heart,
And Jesus prove to me.
