Acts 2:14: Peter, standing up... lifted up his voice, and, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Frightkn'd by a servant's word
Who Christ so late denied.
Boldly now he owns his Lord,
By sinners crucified,
Publishes before his foes
The saving power of Jesus' name,
To the' assembled nations shows
The glories of the Lamb.
This the work of Thy right hand,
Thy Spirit's work I see!
This shall make my weakness stand,
Shall soon embolden me.
Saviour, at Thy bleeding cross
I wait; and faithfully expect
From the same almighty Cause
The same Divine effect.
