Text: | Equip me for the war |
Author: | C. Wesley |
1 Equip me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;
My simple, upright heart prepare,
And guide my words aright.
2 Control my every thought;
My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in thee be wrought;
Let all be wrought in love.
3 Oh, arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb, that was in thee;
And let my glowing zeal be joined
With perfect charity.
4 With calm and tempered zeal
Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.
5 Oh, may I love like thee-
In all thy footsteps tread:
Thou hatest all iniquity,
But nothing thou hast made.
6 Oh, may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove;
To hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love.
