Luke 6:19: There went virtue out of Ilifn, and healed. em all

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Jesus full of holiness.
Holiness proceeds from Thee,
Virtue pure and gospel-grace
Cures our souls' infirmity:
Thee who touch l)y faith and prayer
Shall the balmy efiluence feel.
Throughly heal'd to all declare
Love is inexhaustible.

Now I seek to touch my T.ord,
Now as yesterday the same,
Hear the evangelic word,
Trust the virtue of Thy name:
Lord, in me Thy grace reveal,
(Grace which every soul may prove,)
All my sicknesses to heal
Now infuse Thy sovereign love.
