Jesus, the Truth and Power Divine

 

VERSE 1

Jesus, the Truth and Power divine,

Send forth these messengers of Thine;

Their hands confirm, their hearts inspire,

And touch their lips with hallowed fire.

 

VERSE 2

Be Thou their mouth and wisdom, Lord;

Thou, by the hammer of Thy Word,

The rocky hearts in pieces break,

And bid the sons of thunder speak.

 

VERSE 3

To those who would their Lord embrace,

Give them to preach the word of grace;

Sweetly their yielding bosoms move,

And melt them with the fire of love.

 

VERSE 4

Let all with thankful hearts confess

Thy welcome messengers of peace;

Thy power in their report be found,

And let Thy feet behind them sound.
