Wesley, John and Charles

Psalm CXIX. Blessed are the pure in heart.

1798?, 1868

"'Grave [the commandments] with Thy Spirit's seal / On the tables of my heart."

Known on earth to none but Thee,
  Here a banish'd man I roam;
Let me Thy commandments see,
  Show the light that guides me home
All their deep design reveal,
  All their inward power impart,
'Grave them with Thy Spirit's seal
  On the tables of my heart.
(VIII, p. 211 in 1868 ed.)
