Fear

“Fear God.” 

I Peter 2:17 

My heart is hardened from thy fear, 

’Till thou the stone remove, 

’Till love constrain me to revere 

The God of pard’ning love: 

Father, declare thyself to me 

Through Jesus reconciled, 

Then shall I always render thee 

The reverence of a child. 

Charles Wesley’s Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762)
