 I Want a Principle Within ~ Charles Wesley

[b]I Want a Principle Within[/b] by Charles Wesley

I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel of pride or wrong desire,
To catch the wandering of my will, and quench the kindling fire.


From Thee that I no more may stray, no more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray, the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh, and keep it still awake.


Almighty God of truth and love, to me Thy power impart;
The mountain from my soul remove, the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain my reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again, which makes the wounded whole.

An [i]outstanding[/i] hymn, and one of my personal favorites of Charles Wesley. All my inner man cries out for this principle.

[i]A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.[/i]
