 | CHAPTER XXII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1541.
[Till Jesus casts the veil aside]
Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both, &c.
—xxii. 33.
Till Jesus casts the veil aside,
And man to man explains,
What depths of self-presuming pride
The sinner's heart contains.
He boasts his strength of faith and zeal
While to himself unknown,
And will not, but by falling, feel
He cannot stand alone.
And man to man explains,
What depths of self-presuming pride
The sinner's heart contains.
He boasts his strength of faith and zeal
While to himself unknown,
And will not, but by falling, feel
He cannot stand alone.
Peter self-confident, sincere,
Before his faith was proved,
Was sure he loved his Master dear,
More than his life he loved:
But when the tempting foe assail'd,
At a weak woman's word
He sunk; the love of life prevail'd,
And he abjured his Lord.
Before his faith was proved,

More than his life he loved:
But when the tempting foe assail'd,
At a weak woman's word
He sunk; the love of life prevail'd,
And he abjured his Lord.
