Acts 7:7: Jesus at last arise

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus at last arise
To' avenge me of my foe,
Thy justice exercise,
Thy righteous anger show;
These sins that hold my soul in thrall,
These tyrant sins, destroy them all.

With patience I attend
For that redeeming word,
Which makes my troubles end,
Which bids me serve my Lord,
And brings me forth with joy and pe;v
Into the land of righteousness.
