John 15:10: If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Obedience to our Lord must prove
The truth and constancy of love,
By this our faithfulness is tried,
By this we in His love abide:
Submissive to the Father's will
He bids us His commands fulfil,
And joins in all He owns for His
Obedience and eternal bliss.

Jesus the true fidelity
The Spirit's fruits produce in me,
O let my life and heart confess
The' effects of Thine almighty grace,
That fill'd with faith which works by love,
And serving like Thy saints above,
My soul may gain the joy prepared
The fulness of Thine own reward.
