Acts 11:2: Who, when he came, and had seen the grace, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Jesus, the spirit of jealousy
Root out of all employ'd by Thee
To make Thy mercy known
That each, if Thou his brethren bless,
May praise the Lord for their success
As much as for his own.

Be it our greatest joy below
To see Thy heavenly kingdom grow,
Thy gracious work increase,
While multitudes are turn'd to God,
And show the virtue of Thy blood,
The power of godliness.
