Jeremiah 32:39: No, they cry, it cannot be
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
No, they cry, it cannot be!
Christians never will agree!
All the world Thy word deny.
Yet we on the truth rely,
Sure, in that appointed day,
Thou wilt give us all one way,
Show us each to other join'd,
One in heart, and one in mind.
Hasten then the general peace,
Bid Thy people's discord cease.
All united in Thy name,
Let us think, and speak the same:
Then the world shall know and own
God Himself hath made us one.
Thee their Lord with us embrace.
Sing Thine everlasting praise.
