John: Preaching the kingdom of God, and, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Jesus, Thy servants bless,
Who sent by Thee proclaim
The peace, and joy, and righteousness,
Experienced in Thy name;
The kingdom of our God
Which Thy great Spirit imparts,
The power of Thy victorious blood
Which reigns in faithful hearts.
Our souls with faith supply,
With life and liberty;
And lo, we preach and testify
The things concerning Thee;
We live for this alone,
Thy grace to minister,
And all Thou hast for sinners done
In life and death declare.
