Ephesians 5:30: We are members of His body, out of His flesh Gr., &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Flesh out of His flesh we are,
And bone out of His bone,
Who the heavenly nature share
Of God's most holy Son;
God doth now our hearts impress,
Made soft, yet firm, like His above,
Fill'd with all the tenderness,
And all the strength of love.
