Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.

— Charles Wesley Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

More quotes by Charles Wesley

God buries his workmen, but carries on his work.

"Hark the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born king."
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!

One family — we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

"Christ the Lord is risen to-day,"
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.

A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify:
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
