Zion Implored
Sigmund C. Gmelin • John Wesley (1739) • English
Primary Scripture: Galatians 4:18
Verse 1
O Thou who all things canst control, Chase sloth and slumber from my soul; With joy and fear, with love and awe, Give me to keep Thy perfect law.
Verse 2
O may one beam of Thy blest light Pierce through, dispel the shades of night: Touch my cold breast with heavenly fire, With holy, conquering zeal inspire.
Verse 3
With steps unwavering, undismayed, Give me in all Thy paths to tread. Rise, Lord, stir up Thy quickening power And wake me, that I sleep no more.
Verse 4
Single of heart O may I be! Nothing may I desire but Thee; Far, far from me the world remove, And all that holds me from Thy Love!
