Hymns on the Trinity, 60

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

Holy Ghost, regard our prayers,
Third of the glorious three,
Send forth faithful labourers
To gather souls for Thee:
Sovereign, everlasting Lord,
The harvest is entirely Thine,
Thine the preachers of the word,
The messengers Divine.

Move their hearts, and more stir up
Salvation to proclaim,
Bold on every mountain-top
To shout in Jesus' name,
Tidings of great joy to tell,
Of peace obtain'd, and sin forgiven;
Then, Thy word of grace to seal,
O God, come down from heaven.
