 During his CourtshipBy Charles Wesley Christ, my Life, my Only Treasure, Thou alone Mould thine own, After thy Good pleasure.
Thou, who paidst my Price, direct me! Thine I am, Holy Lamb, Save, and always save me. Order Thou my whole Condition, Chuse my State, Fix my Fate By thy wise Decision. From all Earthly Expectation Set me free, Seize for Thee All my Strength of Passion. Into absolute Subjection Be it brought, Every Thought, Every fond Affection. That which most my Soul requires For thy sake Hold it back Purge my Best Desires. Keep from me thy loveliest Creature, Till I prove JESUS' Love Infinitely sweeter; Till with purest Passion panting Cries my Heart 'Where Thou art Nothing more is wanting.' Blest with thine Abiding Spirit, Fully blest Now I rest, All in Thee inherit. Heaven is now with Jesus given; Christ in me, Thou shalt be Mine Eternal Heaven. Back to Charles Wesley index.
