The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

O that I, Lord, in Thee alone
Could seek my whole delight, and find!
Thy perfect will on me be done,
Who to Thy perfect will resign'd
In faith for full salvation pray,
And for Thy promised coming stay.

Of all Thou hast in earth below,
Of all Thou hast in heaven above,
Wilt Thou whate'er I ask bestow?
I nothing ask except Thy love;
Thou know'st the secrets of my heart,
The thing which I desire, Thou art.

292

Give then Thyself, Jehovah, give
The glorious Partner of Thy throne
In a poor ransom'd worm to live,
That with Thy Son and Spirit one,
One I may live with Love, with Thee,
And reign through all eternity.
