By A Collection of Hymns

      2-6s & 4-7s. Acts xiv, 27.
      1 THY messengers make known
      What God by them hath done;
      We who prayed for their success,
      Thankful for their answered prayer,
      Testify his faithfulness,
      All his gracious works declare.

      2 With joy we now approve
      The truth of Jesu's love;
      God, the universal God,
      He the door hath opened wide,
      Faith on heathens hath bestowed,
      Washed them in his bleeding side,

      3 Purged from the stains of sin,
      By faith they enter in;
      Purchased and redeemed of old,
      Added to the chosen race,
      Now received into the fold,
      Heathens sing their Saviour's praise.

      4 With them we lift our voice,
      Partakers of their joys,
      Conscious of the blood applied,
      Freely all through faith forgiven:
      Faith renews the justified,
      Faith unfolds the gates of heaven.
