John 4: A Wonder of grace To angels and men

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

A Wonder of grace To angels and men!
The Ancient of days With mortals is seen.
With sinners converses, His Spirit imparts,
His numberless mercies Makes known to our hearts.

No matter how vile The sinner has been;
His word and His smile Redeems us from sin,
With kind conversation He comforts the worst,
And shows His salvation To profligates first.
