Wesley, John and Charles

1721. But I my good Physician know [from Hymns on the Four Gospels, and Acts of the Apostles. Including Such "Short Hymns" as Were Published in 1762.]

1868

"Whose grace the pardon did bestow / And seal'd it on my conscience sure"

He that was healed wist not who it was.

--v. 13.

But I my good Physician know,
  Whose blood was shed to buy my cure,
Whose grace the pardon did bestow
  And seal'd it on my conscience sure;
My soul to save from heaven He came,
And heal'd by telling me His name.
