Give Me the Enlarged Desire

Charles Wesley
(1707-1788)

I am the Lord thy God,
which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

— Psalm 81:10 kjv

Give me the enlarged desire
And open, Lord, my soul,
Thy own fulness to require,
And comprehend the whole;

Stretch my faith’s capacity
Wider, and yet wider still;
Then with all that is in Thee,
My soul forever fill!
