John 2:1: I Mother of Purity Divine

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I Mother of Purity Divine
The Virgin graced a nuptial feast.
But who in Jesus' spirit join
They entertain a nobler Guest.
Who meet and marry in the Lord,
Bless'd as the first unspotted pair,
They find their paradise restored.
And Purity Himself is there.
