PROMISE of SANCTIFICATION.
Ezek. xxxvi. 25, &c.
By the Rev. Mr. Charles Wesley.
God of all power, and truth, and grace,
Which shall from age to age endure;
Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass,
Remains, and stands for ever sure:
Calmly to thee my soul looks up,
And waits thy promises to prove;
The object of my stedfast hope,
The seal of thine eternal love.
That I thy mercy may proclaim,
That all mankind thy truth may see,
Hallow thy great and glorious name,
And perfect holiness in me.
Chose from the world if now I stand
Adorned in righteousness divine,
If brought unto the promis'd land,
I justly call the Saviour mine;
Perform the work thou hast begun,
My inmost soul to thee convert:
Love me, for ever, love thine own,
And sprinkle with thy blood my heart.
