Divine conformity.
JESUS, fulfil our one desire,
And spread the spark of living fire
Through every hallow’d breast:
Bless with divine conformity,
And give us now to find in thee
Our everlasting rest.
2 O that we now the power might feel,
To do on earth thy blessed will,
As angels do above: —
To walk in thee, the Truth, the Way,
And ever perfectly obey
Thy sweet constraining love.
Charles Wesley
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)

Not one of his better known hymns. According to hymnary.org it only occurs in nine hymnals. But I like the theology of it, so I'm posting it. : )
