Text:O Thou who wouldst not have
Author:Charles Wesley
Tune:PRAYER
Composer:Leonard Marshall

382. O Thou who wouldst not have

1 O Thou who wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery!

2 Show me the way to shun
Thy dreadful wrath severe,
That when Thou comest on Thy throne
I may with joy appear.

3 Thou art Thyself the Way,
Thyself in me reveal;
So shall I pass my life's short day
Obedient to Thy will.

4 So shall I love my God,
Because He first loved me,
And praise Thee in Thy bright abode,
Through all eternity.

Amen.
