John 20:13: Fresh fatigue for Jesus' sake

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Fresh fatigue for Jesus' sake-
Is an apostle's rest;
Happy who his zeal partake,
His successors confess'd!
They with joy renounce their eas
Themselves in everything deny,
Sinners for their Lord to seize,
And Jesus glorify.
