Made out of weakness strong

Verse 1
Made out of weakness strong,
By sufferings fortified,
We preach Him all day long,
Who once for sinners died,
Tis double joy, to make him known
And suffer for his sake alone.

Verse 2
We cannot be with-held
By stripes or menaces,
But by his love compel’d
Our Saviour-Prince confess,
In churches, houses, fields proclaim
Pardon for all in Jesus name.
