John Wesley (1703-1791)
6 Verses Divine Love
Verse 1
SAVIOUR, the world's and mine, Was ever grief like thine! Thou my pain, my curse hast took, All my sins were laid on thee; Help me, Lord; to thee I look, Draw me, Saviour, after thee.
Verse 2
' Tis done! my God hath died; My Love is crucified! Break, this stony heart of mine; Pour, mine eyes, a ceaseless flood; Feel, my soul, the pangs divine; Catch, my heart, the issuing blood!
Verse 3
When, O my God, shall I For thee submit to die? How the mighty debt repay? Rival of thy passion prove? Lead me in thyself, the Way; Melt my hardness into love.
Verse 4
To love is all my wish, I only live for this; Grant me, Lord, my heart's desire, There by faith for ever dwell; This I always will require, Thee, and only thee, to feel.
Verse 5
Thy power I pant to prove, Rooted and fixed in love; Strengthened by thy Spirit's might, Wise to fathom things divine, What the length, and breadth, and height, What the depth of love like thine.
Verse 6
Ah! give me this to know, With all thy saints below; Swells my soul to compass thee, Gasps in thee to live and move; Filled with all the Deity, All immersed and lost in love!
