Romans 12:10: Can it never be fulfill'd

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Can it never be fulfill'd?
Then we can never love:
But by Thy good Spirit seal'd,
We all the truth shall prove;
Thou our hearts shalt circumcise,
And give us meekly to confess
Perfect love which God supplies
Is perfect holiness.
3068. The kingdom of God is...righteousness, and, &c.—xiv. 17:
Lorp, I want Thy power and peace,
Power to make an end of sin,
Joy to bid my troubles cease,
Righteousness to reign within:
Pure, and happy may I be;
Then Thy kingdom's come to me.
