Luke 4:44: He preached in the synagogues of Galilee

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

I Come Saviour, by Thy promise bound.
In every messenger.
And let our synagogues resound
With news of glory near;
Glory in grace on earth begun,
Which every soul may gain.
And humbled, at Thy side sit down.
And in Thy patience reign.

T'hy peace into my troubled soul,
Thy mighty joy bring in,
Thy righteous nature, to control
And finish all my sin;
The power of Thy triumphant love
To me my Lord extend.
And bring the kingdom from above
AVhich never more shall end.
