Acts 21:6: That warmth without excess

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

That warmth without excess
To true believers known,
That mutual tenderness,
Which melts us into one,
When souls in Jesus' name embrace,
Its heavenly origin displays.

From Christ the unction flows,
The Spirit of our Lord,
And here the nature shows
Of our supreme reward,
Sure earnest of our heaven above
Where all is harmony and love.
