Wesley, John and Charles

11. Thou Dost in All Thy People Dwell [from Hymns on the Four Gospels, and Acts of the Apostles. Including Such "Short Hymns" as Were Published in 1762.]

1868

"Set up Thy kingdom now, and seal / My heart Thine everlasting throne."

Out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule, &c.

--ii. 6.

Thou dost in all Thy people dwell;
  Come, Lord, and reign in me alone,
Set up Thy kingdom now, and seal
  My heart Thine everlasting throne:
My Governor, if here Thou art,
  And rulest me by the power of love,
Thou wilt Thy glorious power impart,
  And crown with all Thy joys above
