Matthew 9: All glory to God

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

All glory to God
Whose love hath bestow'd
Such virtue on men,
On Jesus in human similitude seen!
His goodness and power
The simple adore.
If the learned repine.
We are glad to acknowledge the Finger Divine.

Thou Jesus alone
The wonder hast done.
By Thy nature reveal'd.
Our nature's extreme inability heal'd
Thy life-giving grace
Appears in our days,
And the impotent soul whole.
Through the word of Thy power is made perfectly
