Acts 20:1: Constrain'd by Jesus' lo

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Constrain'd by Jesus' lo
On wings of rapid zeal
He flew, his ministry to prove,
His office to fulfil,
Herald of gospel grace,
To preach their sins forgiven
To sinners met from every place
And nation under heaven.

The Comforter bestow'd
He hasten'd to declare,
Purchase of the Redeemer's blood,
And answer of His prayer;
Another Pentecost
That multitudes might find,
And witness God the Holy Ghost
Pour'd out on all mankind.
