Acts 13:47: The unspeakable Grace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The unspeakable Grace
By faith we embrace,
Whom His Father doth give,
In the ends of the earth our salvation receive;
Salvation from sin
With Jesus brought in
We exult to obtain,
And the favour of God and His image regain.

O that all the lost kind
Our Redeemer might find,
On the Gentiles bestow'd
Who bought the whole world with His life-giving blood.
Who would have them believe,
And His fulness receive,
And created again
For a moment endure, and eternally reign.
