John 16:30: What must I Jo to be saved?

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Saved from the present guilt they feci,
Saved from the future wrath they dread,
Lost sinners sinking into hell
With all their crimes upon their head,
Pardon and holiness may claim,
And heaven through faith in Jesus' name.
Must I not do all I can?
Yes; and own the labour vain,
Feel my utter helplessness,
Feel salvation is of grace:
When I have my utmost done,
Lord, I look to Thee alone,
Help my unbelief, or I
Must with all my doings die.
