CHAPTER XXIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
571.
[Myself I cannot humble make]
He that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
—xxiii. 12.
Myself I cannot humble make,
Yet may I, Lord, the succour take
Proffer'd, implied, in Thy command;
May lay my haughty looks aside,
Resist the thought engendering pride,
And stoop beneath Thy mighty hand:
Yet may I, Lord, the succour take
Proffer'd, implied, in Thy command;
May lay my haughty looks aside,
Resist the thought engendering pride,
And stoop beneath Thy mighty hand:
If to Thy hand of power I stoop,
Thy hand of love shall lift me up
To heights of holiness unknown,
Thy love's omnipotence shall raise
The vessel of Thy perfect grace,
And seat me on Thy azure throne.
Thy hand of love shall lift me up
To heights of holiness unknown,
361
The vessel of Thy perfect grace,
And seat me on Thy azure throne.
