Acts 12:7: And, behold, the angel of the Lord came, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

God His suffering servants sees,
And all their sorrows shares,
Leaves them to the last distress
And then lie grams their pray I
True and faithful to His word
He then His guardian power makes known,
Saves as an almighty Lord
Who never fails His own.

Then we testify His grace,
And ever watchful love,
Join our songs with those that praise
His hallow'd name above
Jesus doth His church redeem
From all the rage of fiends and men,
None can ever trust in Him
Or ask His help in vain.
