John 17:19: And for their Hikes I sanctify Myself, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus, was ever love like Thine!
Victim, immaculate, Divine!
Self-oflfer'd in the sinner's place,
For Thine elect apostles slain,
For all who their commission gain,
For every child of Adam's race!
We through Thy death the power receive,
The sanctifying truth believe,
Partakers of Thy sacrifice;
Bodies and souls present to God,
With Thine all-patient mind endow'd,
And to Thy heavenly kingdom rise.
