Colossians 1:12: Wuat is that meetness for the skies

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Wuat is that meetness for the skies?
Hard labouring in the vale below,
I ask, "' What is my calling's prize P"
And all within me groans to know:
Who shall that holiness explain?
Adam, descended from above,
Answer by forming me again,
By perfecting my soul in love.
