Érték És Kincs, Mit Isten Ad

Representative Text

1 Érték és kincs, mit Isten ad,
De az, mit Ő ígér nekem,
Csak holt betű, csak szó marad,
Mit sem jelent, ha nincs hitem.
Az Úr nélkül az ígéret
Valóság, élet nem lehet.

2 Hiába hangzik az Ige,
És mindhiába olvasom,
Hit nélkül véve kezembe
Nem lesz abból lelki haszon.
Így holt betű, mit olvasok,
Lelki jót abból nem kapok.

3 Nem nyújt vígaszt, fényt, életet,
Jézushoz úgy el nem vezet!
Csak mélyíti gyötrelmemet,
Veszve marad, mi elveszett!
A Lélek az, ki éltet ad,
A betű másképp holt marad.

4 Úr Jézus, adj kegyelmet, adj!
Nyisd meg szemem, hogy lássalak!
Érints meg! Ó, holtan ne hagyj,
Hogy nyílt szívvel fogadjalak!
Így lesz Ígéd áldás nekem,
Már itt lenn, és a mennyben fenn.

In 1726 Charles Wesley was elected to a Westminster studentship at Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1729, and became a college tutor. In the early part of the same year his religious impressions were much deepene… Go to person page >
