Acts 10:35: The everlasting gospel hear

The everlasting gospel hear
To neither time nor place confined,
Whoe'er thou art thy Maker fear,
The awful Father of mankind,
The great and bountiful, and wise,
Who made, and rules both earth and skies.

The sovereign Cause and End of all,
Who justly claims His creature's heart,
On Him with pious reverence call,
From all acknowledged ill depart,
And, true to thy imperfect light,
Do what thy heart approves as right.

While thy religious actions show
The principle of secret grace,
Led by a Friend thou dost not know
In all the paths of righteousness,
Heathen, Mahometan, or Jew,
Thy soul is safe, as God is true.

Surely thou dost even now partake
The grace and favour of thy God,
Accepted for His only sake
Who bought the nations with His blood;
And when He makes thy pardon known,
Thou know'st that God and Christ are one.
