The Blessed Bible.

By Charles Wesley

WHEN quiet in my house I sit, Thy Book be my companion still; My joy Thy sayings to repeat, Talk o’er the records of Thy will, And search the oracles divine, Till every heartfelt word be mine.
O may the gracious words divine Subject of all my converse be; So will the Lord His follower join, And walk and talk Himself with me; So shall my heart His presence prove, And burn with everlasting love.
Oft as I lay me down to rest, O may the reconciling word Sweetly compose my weary breast, While on the bosom of my Lord I sink in blissful dreams away And visions of eternal day.
Rising to sing my Saviour’s praise, Thee may I publish all day long; And let Thy precious word of grace Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue; Fill all my life with purest love, And join me to the church above. —Charles Wesley.
