Genesis 49:10: Unto Him shall t)ie gathering of the people be

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Centre of Unity,
Our precious Corner-stone,
Collect Thy people into Thee,
And perfect them in one;
Break down the wall between.
Even as Thou hast foretold.

And all the wandering sheep bring in,
And make us all one fold.
lo-
Object of the world's desire
Jesus we fain would see,
O might every heart aspire
With ours to rest in Thee!

O might all our Saviour know.
Where'er by sin or Satan driven,
Gather'd to Thy church below,
And to Thy throne in heaven!
