Acts 5:32: We are His witnesses of these things: and, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

We witness for our Prince
And Saviour in the sky,
Who doth the soul of sin convince
And freely justify:
At God's right hand He dwells
The double grace to' impart;
He breaks, and then forgiveness seals
On the poor broken heart.

His Spirit too declares
Our Lord enthroned for this,
Working with all the ministers
Of evangelic peace:
Jesus He testifies
Our true eternal God,
Condemns the world, and then applies-
That all-atoning blood.

The Father of our Lord
The Holy Ghost hath given,
To sinners saved who keep His word,
The' anointed heirs of heaven:
Who faithfully obey
Their Saviour from above,
And wait His coming in that day
To crown them with His love.
