[Made by persecution strong]
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly, &c.
—xiv. 3.
Made by persecution strong
If Christ His strength bestows,
There we shall continue long
Where infidels oppose,
Confident our Lord proclaim,
Our Peace and Advocate with God,
Preach salvation through His name,
And pardon in His blood.
If Christ His strength bestows,
There we shall continue long

Confident our Lord proclaim,
Our Peace and Advocate with God,
Preach salvation through His name,
And pardon in His blood.
Bold in our almighty Lord,
While Thee we testify,
Present to confirm the word
We on Thyself rely:
Thou Thy confessors confess,
The truth in sinners' hearts reveal,
Welcome news of saving grace
By Thy own Spirit seal.

Welcome news of saving grace

More than outward wonders show
On those that humbly hear,
Let their souls the witness know
The' indwelling Comforter;
Let their lives resemble Thine
And preach the kingdom from above,
Holy joy and peace Divine,
And pure unbounded love.

Thus Thy testimony give
To all who speak for Thee,
Thus let thousands turn and live
In faith's sincerity;
Through our ministerial hands
Ten thousand more with grace supply,
Power to practise Thy commands,
And live for God and die.
