The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

Hath raised up His Son,
And sent Him again in the Comforter down.
Ye sinners, believe,
And your Saviour receive,
By His Father bestow'd,
That ye all may return to the bosom of God.

God sent Him to bless
With unspeakable peace
The children of men,
That ye here may His favour and image regain:
'Twas His only design,
By the Spirit Divine
To redeem you from woe,
And indulge with a taste of your heaven below.

He is ready to prove
The truth of His love:
And when Jesus reveals
Your pardon obtain'd, He His office fulfils;
He bids you be clean
From the nature of sin
Through the power of His blood,
And He makes your hearts happy, by making them good.

Repent and believe
And the blessing receive,
The felicity pure,
The salvation of God which shall always endure.
Your Saviour embrace,
With His fulness of grace,
And hold fast the high Prize,
And live upon earth as they live in the skies.
