John 21:25: Amen
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Amen! we thus our seal set to,
Our faith's entire assent subjoin,
That all and every word is true,
Inspired, infallible, Divine:
That all doth perfectly suffice
To' obtain the end for which 'tis given,
Able through faith to make us wise,
And fit us for our thrones in heaven.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.
The actions of the sent
We here recorded see,
Of every chosen instrument
Raised up, O Lord, by Thee:
In ours and every age
Who dost Thy work revive,
Thou show'st in this prophetic page
How real Christians live.
The progress of Thy word
Throughout the nations spread,
The kingdom of Thy grace restored
With wondering joy we read:
To no one time or place
The history is confined,
Large are Thy ancient works of grace,
And take in all mankind.
