FLY TO JESUS by CHARLES WESLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: WEARY SOULS, THAT WANDER WIDE
Last Line: BLEST TO ALL ETERNITY.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Weary souls, that wander wide
From the central point of bliss:
Turn to Jesus crucified;
Fly to those dear wounds of His:
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God.

Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace unspeakable, unknown;
By His pain He gives you ease,
Life by His expiring groan:
Rise exalted by His fall;
Find in Christ your all in all.

O believe the record true,
God to you His Son hath given;
Ye may now be happy too,
Find on earth the life of heaven:
Live the life of heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.

This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul design'd;
God's original promise this,
God's great gift to all mankind:
Blest in Christ this moment be,
Blest to all eternity.
