Matthew 28: Adopted by the Father's grace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Adopted by the Father's grace,
Incorporated with the Son,
Fill'd with the Spirit of holiness,
God One in Three, and Three in One,
Christians throughout their lives proclaim,
And bear the gi-eat Jehovah's name.
Partakers of His nature pure,
They all His words with joy receive,
His church, they labour and endure,
His saints, for God alone they live,
His host they see the gUttering prize,
And fight their passage to the skies.
