Matthew 10:27: What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

No shy reserve, or close disguise,
No dark, mysterious secrecy.
No art to blind Thy people's eyes,
Becomes a preacher sent by Thee:
We tell on the housetop whate'er
Thy Spirit and word to us have show'd,
And bold throughout the world declare
The utmost counsel of our God.
