John 17:2: As Tkouhast given Him power over all, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Full power to Thee Thy Father gave,
Supreme authority to save
Whoe'er their proffer'd Lord embrace:
All flesh is now by purchase Thine,
Who didst Thy precious life resign
To ransom the whole fallen race.

Thou wouldst on every soul bestow
The faith through which Thy people know
Eternal life on earth reveal'd:
Thou dost Thy quickening Spirit give
To all who lovingly believe,
And find their blood-bought pardon seal'd.
