The actions of the sent

Verse 1
The actions of the Sent
We here recorded see,
Of every chosen instrument
Rais’d up, O God, by Thee:
In ours, and every age
Who dost thy work revive,
Thou shewst in this prophetic page
How real Christians live.

Verse 2
The progress of thy word
Throughout the nations spread,
The kingdom of thy grace restor’d
With wondring joy we read:
To no one time or place
The history is confin’d,
Large are thy ancient works of grace,
And take in all mankind.
