Prayer for One That is Lunatick and Sore Vexed Source: Collection of Psalms and Hymns (1741) Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- Jesu! God of our salvation, Hear our call; Save us all, By thy death and passion. Jesu! See thine helpless creature; Bow the skies, God arise, All thy foes to scatter. Jesu! Manifest thy glory In this hour, Shew thy power, Drive thy foes before thee. Jesu! Help, thou serpent-bruiser; Bruise his head, Woman’s seed, Cast down the accuser. Jesu! Wound the dragon, wound him; Make him roar, Break his power, Let thine arm confound him. Jesu! Come, and bind him, bind him, Let him feel His own hell, Let thy fury find him. Jesu! Than the strong man stronger, Enter thou, Let thy foe Keep thee out no longer. Suffer him no more to harm her, Make her clean, Purge her sin, Take away his armour. Jesu! Mighty to deliver, Satan foil, Take the spoil Make her thine for ever. Jesu! All to thee is given: All obey, Own thy sway, Hell, and earth, and heaven. Jesu! Let this soul find favour In thy sight, Claim thy right, Come, O come, and save her. From the hand of hell retrieve her, Jesu, Lord, Speak the word, Bid the tempter leave her. Hide her till the storm be over, King of kings, Spread thy wings, Christ, her weakness cover. Jesu! Wherefore dost thou tarry? Hear thine own, Cast him down, Quell the adversary.
