Religion

Acts 7:3: In every time and place

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

In every time and place
Who serve the Lord Most-High,
Are call'd His sovereign will to' embrace,
And still their own deny j
To follow His command,
On earth as pilgrims rove,
And seek an undiscover'd land,
And house and friends above.

Father, the narrow path
To that far country show;
And in the steps of Abraham's faith
Enable me to go;
A cheerful sojourner
Where'er Thou bidd'st me roam,
Till, guided by Thy Spirit here,
I reach my heavenly home.
