CHAPTER VI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1261.
[A vessel of mere mercy I]
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father, &c.
—vi. 36.
A vessel of mere mercy I
By mercy live, though doom'd to die,
I live Thine image to regain
Thy bowels toward the sons of men;
To prove that I my Father know,
Thy brightest character to show,
While all my blood-bought brethren see
Our God is love, and dwells in me.
