Acts 8: Jesus, Thou know'st the nations still

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus, Thou know'st the nations still
Bewitch'd, and slaves to Satan's will
By magical illusions held
Where Thou wast never yet reveal'd,
Visit them, Lord, with gospel light
Dispersing all the shades of night,
The dark Americans set free,
And end the' infernal tyranny.
