1 John 3:3: Have I this hope Thy face to see

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Have I this hope Thy face to see?
Then let me, gracious God, exert
My utmost strength received from Thee,
To gain that purity of heart,
Through Jesu's blood to wash away
My filthiness of wrath and pride;
So shalt Thou give me in that day
A lot among the sanctified.
