Genesis: Thou hast enlarged Thy church's bound

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Thou hast enlarged Thy church's bound,
Hast call'd us by Thy name,
Poor Gentiles we in Christ are found.
And Japheth dwells with Shem:
We dwell in tents, co-heirs with Thee,
Till Thou our souls remove.
With all the first-born church to see
Our Father's house above.
