Religion

Acts 17:27: That they should seek the Lord, if haply, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Be it to every nation known,
On earth we live for this alone,
To seek the Lord who placed us here;
By reason's feeble aid to feel
After the great Invisible,
If haply we may find Him near.

We may in all the creatures find
The proofs of an Eternal Mind,
Of Power and Wisdom from above:
But when His Spirit He imparts,
We feel our Maker in our hearts,
And know that God in Christ is love.
