Acts 3:11: Through the ministry of man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Through the ministry of man
Whoe'er their cure receive,
Fondly they at first detain,
And to the preacher cleave:
Farther taught by grace Divine,
The Author of all good they own,
Every instrument resign,
And cleave to Christ alone.

Lord, in these Thy Spirit's days
Thou dost Thy work renew,
Daily miracles of grace
On helpless sinners show:
O might all the thoughtless crowd
With wonder struck my change to see.
Flock into the courts of God,
And run for faith to Thee!
