John 16:34: He... rejoiced, believing in God 'with all his, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

It cannot be a house of woe
Where souls their dear Redeemer know,
And glory in His love:
Partakers of the life Divine,
With joy unspeakable they join
The family above.

O that in every house there were
A church who could their Lord declare,
And saved by grace alone
Rejoice with joy of faith sincere,
Till confident we all appear
Before the' eternal throne!
