Acts 9:27: God will not needlessly be seen

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

God will not needlessly be seen,
But lets the work be done by men
Which may by man be done,
His saints to common ways He leaves,
And in due time occasion gives
To make His wonders known.

Others He finds our faith to tell,
Our sights of Christ, and prosperous zeal
In publishing the word,
That saints acknowledging our grace
With joy may know, with love embrace,
Their brethren in the Lord.
