A Hymn of thanksgiving and praise to share....Happy New Year from the Bartlett House

O GOD, MOST MERCIFUL AND TRUE O God, most merciful and true, Thy nature to my soul impart; ’Stablish with me the covenant new, And write salvation on my heart. To real holiness restored, O let me gain my Savior’s mind, And in the knowledge of my Lord, Fullness of life eternal find! Remember, Lord, my sins no more, That them I may no more forget; But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore, With speechless wonder, at Thy feet. O’erwhelmed with Thy stupendous grace, I shall not in Thy presence move, But breathe unutterable praise, And rapturous awe, and silent love. Then every murmuring thought and vain Expires, in sweet confusion lost; I cannot of my cross complain, I cannot of my goodness boast. Pardoned for all that I have done, My mouth as in the dust I hide And glory give to God alone, My God forever pacified. Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
