Wesley Corpus

John and Charles Wesley." As in their other joint works, John and Charles chose not to identify who contributed specific poems. In this case, the only poem that John likely contributed was the translation of a German hymn by Ernst Lange. All but one of the other hymns ("The Christian," on pp. 270-71) appear in Charles Wesley's personal manuscripts, demonstrating his authorship. These include the two loose paraphrases of German hymns that are titled "Life of Faith, Pt. 1 2," which are rare instances of Charles engaging in such translation. Three of the poems included had been published previously (indicated in blue font in the Table of Contents below). Edition: John Wesley. Collection of Moral and Sacred Poems. 3 vols.

God's Greatness.2 O God, thou bottomless abyss, Thee to perfection who can know? O height immense! What words suffice Thy countless attributes to show: Unfathomable depths thou art! I plunge me in thy mercy's sea; Void of true wisdom is my heart, With love embrace and cover me. While thee all-infinite I set By FAITH before my ravish'd eye, My weakness bends beneath the weight, O'erpower'd I sink, I faint, I die.
