Savior, I Know Thy Gracious Will
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Savior, I know Thy gracious will,
Thou waitest for admittance still;
Thy knock, Thy mercy’s voice I hear,
And open wide my heart sincere;
I use the power my Lord doth give,
And gladly now Thyself receive.
2 Enter with all Thy fullness in,
And cast out this intruder, sin;
Challenge Thy dear bought property,
And pleased with what Thou bring’st to me,
The good which comes from Thee alone,
Vouchsafe to banquet on Thine own.
3 Nothing have I to offer Thee
But wretchedness and poverty:
O wouldst Thou in Thy servant find
The lowly, meek and patient mind;
Dispread Thine image o’er my breast,
And on Thy own perfection feast.
4 Then should I with my Savior sup,
To the third heaven at last caught up,
Obtain the bliss begun below,
The bliss I now would die to know;
Sit down, O King of saints, with Thee,
And feast to all eternity. Used With Tune: ERLESDENE Text Sources: Short Hymns, Vol. II (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
Savior, I Know Thy Gracious Will
Fountain Of Power And Dignity
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of power and dignity,
Thy magistrates preserve and bless,
Ordained, not by the crowd, but Thee,
To curb the floods of wickedness,
Commissioned ministers of Thine,
Clothed with authority divine.
2 Strengthen them in the gap to stand,
To bear the sword, and not in vain,
To spread Thy terror thro’ the land,
And truth and righteousness maintain,
And ancient piety restore
In all its purity and power.
3 The guardians of religion true,
Its witnesses vouchsafe to make:
And when Thee in the clouds we view,
And when Thou dost the kingdom take,
The good they did Thy Church reward
As done unto her heav’nly Lord. Used With Tune: ERLESDENE Text Sources: Hymns of Intercession for All Mankind (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1758)
