Acts 5:40: Of whom should His apostles speak

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Of whom should His apostles speak
But Him who fills their hearts and mind,
Who sends them forth, the lost to seek,
To call and gather all mankind?
And all entrusted with His word
Forbid by men will God obey;
We must proclaim our dying Lord,
Though pain and death obstruct the way.
