O God, mine inmost soul convert

Charles Wesley (1749) • English

Primary Scripture: Joel 2:11

Verse 1

O God, mine inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress; Give me to feel their solemn weight, And save me ere it be too late; Wake me to righteousness.

Verse 2

Before me place in dread array The pomp of that tremendous day, When Thou with clouds shalt come To judge the nations at Thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom?

Verse 3

Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, Transported from the vale, to live And reign with Thee above, Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight, And everlasting love.

Verse 4

Amen.
