John 4:31: And when they had prayed, the place was, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Thou who once didst shake the place
Where praying saints were met,
Spirit of faith and holiness
The miracle repeat;
Shake our souls, and stir them up
To seize the crown prepared above,
Fill with confidence of hope,
And purity of love.

Power to every messenger
And ready utterance give,
That we boldly may declare
The Name through which we live,
Preach the reconciling Word
Who did His peace to all bequeath,
Followers of our lamb-like Lord,
And faithful unto death.
