Unclean of life and heart unclean

John Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 9:20-22

Verse 1

Unclean, of life and heart unclean, How shall I in His sight appear? Conscious of my inveterate sin I blush and tremble to draw near; Yet, through the garment of His Word, I humbly seek to touch my Lord.

Verse 2

Turn then, Thou good Physician, turn, Thou source of unexhausted love; Sole comforter of souls forlorn, Who only canst my plague remove, O cast a pitying look on me Who dare not lift mine eyes to Thee!

Verse 3

Yet will I in my God confide, Who comes to meet my seeking soul; I wait to feel Thy blood applied, Thy blood applied shall make me whole; And lo! I trust Thy gracious power To touch, and heal me, in this hour.
