CHAPTER XVI. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||

[Alas, what shall, or can I do]
Alas, what shall, or can I do
But what I have already done?
My labour vain again renew,
My search after a God unknown?
Were there a mean 'twixt heaven and hell,
I could my anxious hopes forego:
But if with God I cannot dwell,
I must with fiends in endless woe.
But what I have already done?
My labour vain again renew,
My search after a God unknown?
Were there a mean 'twixt heaven and hell,
I could my anxious hopes forego:
But if with God I cannot dwell,
I must with fiends in endless woe.
What must I do? who hears my heart,
God, the incarnate God reply,
And save me through His own desert
Before the second death I die;
Through faith in His atoning blood
Which purges all iniquity,
Which for a world of sinners flow'd,
Mercy there is reserved for me.
