The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1526.
[Head of Thy church, for Thee we look]
I will gather them that are sorrowful, &c.
—iii. 18.
Head of Thy church, for Thee we look
Her long captivity to turn,
Whose solemn feasts despised, forsook,
Whose desolate estate we mourn:
With sorrow her reproach we bear,
But plead the sure, prophetic word,
And wait, in answer of our prayer,
To see Jerusalem restored.
