Acts 9:20: Eager to repair the wrong

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Eager to repair the wrong
He to the church had done,
Christ he spreads before the throng
And makes his Saviour known;
Jesu's love his heart constrains,
And all who know the precious grace
Spend their utmost strength and pains
To save the sinful race.

Jesu's love I cannot feci
And hide it in my heart;
No: I must the secret tell,
I must to all impart,
Publish God's eternal Son —
Sinner, He bought us on the tree,
Tasted death for every one,
And offers life to Thee!
