Matthew 10:7: Preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Preach the heavenly kingdom near,
The sure foundation lay,
Christ shall in the clouds appear,
And earth shall pass away:
First He comes to save mankind,,
His Spirit's power He first imparts;
Sinners, turn, believe, and find
The kingdom in your hearts.
Ready is it to take place.
And now enrich the poor:
Heaven begun in gospel-grace
Is to believers sure:
God comes do vn on earth to reign,
With dazzling majesty confess'd:
Every happy pardon'd man
Contains Him in his breast.
