John 11:23: Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The good we eagerly require
Thou still withholdest from Thine own,
To cool the' impatience of desire,
And make us ask in faith alone;
To stop our unbelieving haste
Dispose and teach us to receive:
And then Thou show'st Thy power at last,
And then Thou dost Thy Spirit give.
