Acts 15:15: Known unto God are all His works from, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Nothing can escape Thine eye
Who at a single view
Past and future dost descry,
And all Thy works look through:
All Thy works at once are known.
And grasp'd by Thine immensity;
Present, past, to come are one
Eternal now with Thee!

All Thy oilier works are wrought
That Thy great work of grace
May be to perfection brought
In the peculiar race;
Stands the world for this alone,
That here prepared to reign with Thee,
Saints may soon ascend Thy throne,
And God for ever see!
