Luke 4:43: Not to a single age or place

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Not to a single age or place
Thy doctrine is confined.
Thou preachest still the word of grace
The gospel to mankind:
Sent from Thy Father's throne Thou art,
With news of sins forgiven,
Of peace for every contrite heart,
Of joy and present heaven.

Thy love constrains Thee to proclaim
The kingdom come to all,
And all receive it through Thy name
Who hear Thy Spirit's call:
Thy Spirit in Thy servant's word
The power Divine imparts.
And then the kingdom is restored
In pure believing hearts.
