Luke 19:37, 38: This, this we all acknowledge

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

This, this we all acknowledge
Our time of visitation.
And see and own
What Thou hast done
For us and our salvation;
Sent from Thy Father's bosom
Honour, and might, and blessing.
And glory we
Ascribe to Thee,
And praises without ceasing.

Come in Thy gracious kingdom
We now by faith adore Thee;
But wait to see
Thy majesty,
And all Thy heavenly glory;
Thy last triumphant coming
Shall from the grave deliver;
And then we rise
Above the skies.
And praise our King for ever.
