Embracing the Savior By Faith

Wolfgang Christian Dessler (1692) • John Wesley (1739) • English

Primary Scripture: Colossians 3:3

Verse 1

Into Thy gracious hands I fall, And with the arms of faith embrace; O King of glory, hear my call! O raise me, heal me by Thy grace! Now righteous through Thy wounds I am: No condemnation now I dread; I taste salvation in Thy Name, Alive in Thee, my living Head!

Verse 2

Still let Thy wisdom be my guide, Nor take Thy light from me away: Still with me let Thy grace abide, That I from Thee may never stray. Let Thy Word richly in me dwell; Thy peace and love my portion be; My joy to endure and do thy will, Till perfect I am found in Thee.

Verse 3

Arm me with Thy whole armor, Lord! Support my weakness with Thy might; Gird on my thigh Thy conquering sword, And shield me in the threatening fight: From faith to faith, from grace to grace, So in Thy strength shall I go on; Till heaven and earth flee from Thy face, And glory end what grace begun.
