Summary

Portrait of Charles Wesley Charles Wesley,  Jesus, my Advocate above

“ The knowledge of myself bestow;
A deeper displacence at sin,
A sharper sense of hell within,
A stronger struggling to get free,
A keener appetite for thee!
4. O sovereign Love, to thee I cry;
Give me thyself, or else I die;
Save me from death; from hell set free!
Death, hell, are but the want of thee.
Quicken'd by thy imparted flame,
Saved, when possess'd of thee, I am;
My life, my only heaven, thou art;
O might I feel thee in my heart!
