Heav’nly Truth in Love Dispensèd

Heav’nly truth in love dis­pens­èd;

Few

alas

with joy em­brace:

Closed their eyes and ears to mer­cy

Sinners slight the God of grace:

Self-de­lud­ed

Downwards rush with ra­pid pace.

Though Je­ho­vah oft­en speak­eth

Hardened

they re­fuse to hear

Carnal plea­sures still pur­su­ing

They are caught in Sa­tan’s snare:

Disappointed

Yet the world is still their care.

Lord

these care­less souls to wak­en

Send Thy Holy Spir­it down;

Now the la­bors of Thy serv­ants

With Thy spe­cial bless­ing crown:

To the wan­der­ers

Be Thy grace and mer­cy shown.

Let fair Zi­on’s sons be ga­thered

Own Thee as their sov­er­eign head;

In re­mot­est lands and na­tions

May Thy glo­ri­ous Gos­pel spread:

Power ce­les­ti­al

Raise to life the nu­mer­ous dead.
