An Evening Hymn Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), Part I Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- Fill me with all the life of love, In mystick union join Me to thyself, and let me prove The fellowship divine. Open the intercourse between My longing soul and thee, Never to be broke off again Thro’ all eternity. Grant this, O Lord; for thou hast died That I might be forgiven, Thou hast the RIGHTEOUSNESS supplied, For which I merit heaven. An Evening Hymn.12 Jesus, the all-atoning Lamb, Lover of lost mankind, Salvation in whose only name A sinful world can find: I ask thy grace to make me clean, I come to thee, my God: Open, O Lord, for this day’s sin The fountain of thy blood. 12Charles included this hymn in a later manuscript selection for family use: MS Family, 3-4.
