Hebrews 6:4–6: Wuo see the light of Jesu's face

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

Religion

Wuo see the light of Jesu's face,
Enjoy the sense of sin forgiven,
Partake that Witness of His grace
The Holy Ghost sent down from heaven,
Who feed on your redeeming Lord,
Anticipate the bliss to come,
And taste the sweetness of His word;
Rejoice; but never dare presume!

Your humble confidence hold fast,
For daily grace on Jesus call,
But never boast your conflicts past,
But never dream, Ye cannot fall:
Ye may receive the faith in vain,
And forfeiting your peace and power,
May crucify your God again,
And fall from grace, to rise no more.

Ye wil/, unless ye watch and pray,
Wander out of the narrow road,
Rush blindfold down the spacious way,
And trample on your Saviour's blood;
Beyond the reach of pardoning grace,
Ye will your own damnation seal,
Intrude into the' apostates' place,
And fall at last from heaven to hell.
