Matthew 10:5: Go not into the way of the Gentiles

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Those who seem at first rejected,
Vilest of the sinful race.
Gentiles in due time elected
Magnify the God of grace;
The glad tidings of salvation
Open profligates believe.
All the fruits of Jesus' passion
All the life of God receive.
