CHAPTER IV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
37.
[O may I tempt my God no more]
O may I tempt my God no more,
Or wantonly demand
Unneeded tokens of Thy power,
And Thy protecting hand;
But humbly safe in all my ways
On Thee my Lord attend,
And through the channels of Thy grace
Expect the promised end.
Or wantonly demand
Unneeded tokens of Thy power,
And Thy protecting hand;
But humbly safe in all my ways
On Thee my Lord attend,
And through the channels of Thy grace
Expect the promised end.
No powers extraordinary I claim
To help in time of need,
Assured I in Thy favour am,
And by Thy Spirit led:
A child of Providence Divine
Thy constant care I prove,
Nor ask a miracle or sign
To show that God is love.
