Wesley, John and Charles

1064. But when, most gracious God, and true [from Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures]

Bristol

Printed by E. Farley

1762

"Destroy the idols in my heart"

But when, most gracious God, and true,
Wilt Thou the work of wonder show,
  The man of sin reveal,
And then Thy glorious power exert,
Destroy the idols in my heart,
  And their destruction seal?
