1 Timothy 1:15: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

Religion

Jehovah manifest below
Without Thy robes of majesty,
Thou cam'st into our world of woe
To save our sinful world, and me,
Me, me out of the flames to save,
And ransom from the' infernal grave.

A Man of griefs Thou. didst appear
On earth, and pour out all Thy blood,
Me to redeem from guilty fear, _
From sin, the world, and Satan's rod,
To change my soul, by grace forgiven,
And snatch me quite from-earth to heaven,

The faithful saying of my Lord
With cordial gladness I embrace,
And wait to' experience all Thy word,
Saved to the utmost, saved by grace;
While on the eagle wings of love
I mount, to take my place above.
