[The God of truth, and power, and love]
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
—xi. 15.
The God of truth, and power, and love,
Who bids us lend an ear,
Doth every obstacle remove,
And gives the grace to hear;
Our long-lost liberty restores,
Which we could ne'er regain,
And wills us then to use the powers
His death procured for man.

Sinners, by Jesus bought, obey
His universal call,
Who offers in your gospel-day
The hearing ear to all:
Made capable of faith, receive
The grace so freely given,
And hear, though dead, His voice, and live
On earth the life of heaven.
