Acts 2:11: We do hear them speak in our tongues the, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

On the great auspicious day
When He forms His church below,
Every tongue should homage pay,
His stupendous mercies show:
Meet and right it is, that all
Should in one thanksgiving join'd
On the common Saviour call,
Praise the Lord of all mankind.

Mighty miracles of love,
Jesus, Thou for us hast wrought,
God descended from above,
By Thy blood the nations bought;
Raised Thou dost Thy members raise,
Pour Thy Spirit from on high,
Fill the vessels of Thy grace,
Fit, and bear us to the sky.
