The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley 178After Preaching

Glory , and praise, and love to Thee,

For this effectual door,

Jesu! who publishest by me

The Gospel to the poor.

Glory to Thy great Name alone,

That life and power imparts:

Now, Lord, Thy genuine Gospel own,

And graft it on their hearts.

Now let them feel the tidings true,

Grant to Thy word success;

Water it with Thy heavenly dew,

And give the wish'd increase.

Savour of life, O, let it prove,

And show their sins forgiven;

Work in them faith, which works by love,

And surely leads to heaven.
