CHAPTER XIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1429.
[Lord, I have counted first the cost]
Which of you . . . sitteth not down first, and, &c.
—xiv. 28.
Lord, I have counted first the cost,
My all must for Thy love be lost:
I know, the sure foundation stands
Establish'd by almighty hands;
And Thou who hast Thy work begun,
From faith to faith shalt lead me on,
Till bold I to the summit press,
And rise complete in holiness.
My all must for Thy love be lost:

From faith to faith shalt lead me on,
Till bold I to the summit press,
And rise complete in holiness.
I reckon on Thy Spirit's power
To build me up into a tower,
Thy gracious all-sufficiency
Shall bring forth the head-stone in me:
The more I sink in my own eyes
The higher in my Lord's I rise,
Fall into nothing through Thy love,
And thus I reach Thy throne above.
To build me up into a tower,
Thy gracious all-sufficiency
Shall bring forth the head-stone in me:
The more I sink in my own eyes
The higher in my Lord's I rise,
Fall into nothing through Thy love,
And thus I reach Thy throne above.
