Acts 17:20: Christ presenting to their view
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Christ presenting to their view
Their resurrection here,
Setters forth of doctrines new
We to the wise appear:
Things astonishing we tell
By vain philosophy untaught,
Love incomprehensible,
And souls redeem' d for nought!
The stupendous things of God
To guilty man we show,
Testify the grace bestow'd
Which every soul may know;
News we bring of cancell'd sin
From Him, whose love is unconfined,
Nothing can His mercy mean
But life — for all mankind!
