Acts 2:40: While the glad tidings we proclaim
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
While the glad tidings we proclaim,
Preach that all through Jesu's name
May full redemption have,
If He the given word apply,
We urge, exhort, and testify
Yourselves ye sinners save.
Come out from those who know not God.
Those that trample on His blood
Who died that they might live;
This froward world this moment quit,
And wait at Jesus' wounded feet
Your pardon to receive.
Touch'd by the blood your souls are clean
From the guilt and power of sin,
Completely saved by grace;
Ye then from faith to faith go on,
)'ertake your Saviour on His throne,
And see Him face to face.
