John Wesley (1703-1791)
Verse 1
SAVIOUR, on me the want bestow, Which all that feel shall surely know Their sins on earth forgiven; Give me to prove the kingdom mine, And taste, in holiness divine, The happiness of heaven.
Verse 2
Meeken my soul, thou heavenly Lamb, That I in the new earth may claim My hundred-fold reward; My rich inheritance possess, Co-heir with the great Prince of peace, Co-partner with my Lord.
Verse 3
Me with that restless thirst inspire, That sacred, infinite desire, And feast my hungry heart; Less than thyself cannot suffice; My soul for all thy fulness cries, For all thou hast, and art.
Verse 4
Mercy who show shall mercy find; Thy pitiful and tender mind Be, Lord, on me bestowed; So shall I still the blessing gain, And to eternal life retain The mercy of my God.
Verse 5
Jesus, the crowning grace impart; Bless me with purity of heart, That, now beholding thee, I soon may view thy open face, On all thy glorious beauties gaze, And God for ever see!
Verse 6
Not for my fault or folly's sake, The name, or mode, or form, I take, But for true holiness, Let me be wronged, reviled, abhorred And thee, my sanctifying Lord, In life and death; confess.
Verse 7
Called to sustain the hallowed cross, And suffer for thy righteous cause, Pronounce me doubly blest; And let thy glorious Spirit, Lord, Assure me of my great reward, In heaven's eternal rest.
