John 17:1, 47: Our implacable foe

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Our implacable foe
We daily o'erthrow,
To the evils submit,
And the goods upon earth we tread under our feet:
With Jesus endure,
Till for glory mature
Our souls we resign,
And ascend to partake of the triumph Divine.
