My God, I know, I feel Thee mine. C. Wesley. [Peace and Holiness desired.] Published in Hymns & Sacred Poems, 1740, p. 156, in 12 stanzas of 4 lines, and entitled, "Against Hope, Believing in Hope" (Poetical Works, 1868-72, vol.i. p. 328). In the Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1780, No. 351, stanza x. is omitted, and slight changes in the text are introduced.

1. Father, Thy all-victorious love. This opens with st. iv. altered, and is in use in American Unitarian hymnbooks.
2. Jesus, Thine all-victorious love. This also begins with st. iv. altered, and is in American common use.
