Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749), Hymn 16

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)

Religion

My God, I am Thine,
What a comfort Divine,
What a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine!
In the heavenly Lamb
Thrice happy I am;
My heart it doth dance at the sound of Thy name.
True pleasures abound
In the rapturous sound;
And whoever hath found it hath paradise found.
My Jesus to know,
And feel His blood flow,
Tis life everlasting, 'tis heaven below.
Yet onward I haste
To the heavenly feast;
That, that is the fulness: but this is the taste.
And this I shall prove,
Till with joy I remove
To the heaven of heavens of Jesus's love.
