Isaiah 49:18: Lift tip thine eyes round about, and behold, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

SiON, look round with strange delight,
The world's wide fields to harvest white,
The gathering multitudes behold,
The forces of both earth and sea;
My gospel-church, they come to thee.
They press into My sacred fold!

The Gentiles shall My church adorn,
(Jehovah by His life hath sworn,)
To thee brought in from every side:
And when thou art completely dress'd,
And ready for the marriage-feast,
I come Myself to fetch My bride.
