Isaiah 66: Send then Thy servants forth

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Send then Thy servants forth
To call the Hebrews home.
From west and east, and south and north,
Let all the wanderers come;
Where'er in lands unknown
Thy fugitives remain,
Bid every creature help them on
Thy holy mount to gain:

An offering to their God
There let them all be seen.
Sprinkled with water and with blood,
In soul and body clean;
With Israel's myriads seal'd
Let all the nations meet.
And show Thy mystery fulfiU'd,
Thy family complete.
