O THAT I could my Lord receive, Who did the world redeem, Who gave his life,...

John Wesley (1703-1791)

6 Verses Blood Atonement

Verse 1

O THAT I could my Lord receive, Who did the world redeem, Who gave his life, that I might live A life concealed in him!

Verse 2

O that I could the blessing prove, My heart's extreme desire, Live happy in my Saviour's love, And in his arms expire!

Verse 3

Mercy I ask to seal my peace, That, kept by mercy's power, I may from every evil cease, And never grieve thee more

Verse 4

Now if thy gracious will it be, Even now, my sins remove, And set my soul at liberty By thy victorious love.

Verse 5

In answer to ten thousand prayers, Thou pardoning God, descend; Number me with salvation's heirs, My sins and troubles end.

Verse 6

Nothing I ask or want beside, Of all in earth or heaven, But let me feel thy blood applied, And live and die forgiven.
