Text: | Equip me for the war |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | ST. THOMAS |
Composer: | George F. Handel |
1 Equip me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;
My simple, upright heart prepare,
And guide my words aright.
2 Control my every thought;
And all my sins remove;
Let all my works in Thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.
3 Oh, arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb, that was in Thee!
And let enlightened zeal be joined
With perfect charity.
4 Oh, may I love like Thee!
In all Thy footsteps tread;
Thou hatest all iniquity,
But nothing Thou hast made.
5 Oh, may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove!
And hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love.
Amen.
