CHAPTER XXII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1548.
[Who the host celestial made]
And there appeared an angel unto Him, &c.
—xxii. 43.
Who the host celestial made,
Who their strength to angels gives,
God Himself support and aid
Through His creature's hands receives!
And shall I with scorn refuse
My inferior's ministry,
If my Lord the meanest use,
Send a worm to strengthen me?
Who their strength to angels gives,
God Himself support and aid
Through His creature's hands receives!
And shall I with scorn refuse
My inferior's ministry,
If my Lord the meanest use,
Send a worm to strengthen me?

See the salutary stream
Flowing from the sinners' Friend!
Big with virtue to redeem,
Large the drops on man descend;
Drops which falling to the ground
Purge the universal stain:
There the precious ransom's found,
There my peace is seal'd again!
Flowing from the sinners' Friend!
Big with virtue to redeem,
Large the drops on man descend;
Drops which falling to the ground
Purge the universal stain:

There my peace is seal'd again!
