 | CHAPTER XIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1089.
[The' Almighty can employ His power]
Take away this cup from Me: nevertheless, &c.
—xiv. 36.
The' Almighty can employ His power
To snatch us from the dreadful hour;
But oft to' exalt His name,
To raise our bliss and virtue higher,
Continues with us in the fire,
And saves us in the flame.
To snatch us from the dreadful hour;
But oft to' exalt His name,
To raise our bliss and virtue higher,
Continues with us in the fire,
And saves us in the flame.
If God doth for a time defer
To answer his continued prayer,
Shall sinful man complain,
When Christ the Lord for ever bless'd
Repeats, and urges His request,
Yet seems to pray in vain!
To answer his continued prayer,
Shall sinful man complain,
When Christ the Lord for ever bless'd
Repeats, and urges His request,
Yet seems to pray in vain!
