Verse 1
The everlasting gospel hear,
To neither time nor place confin’d!
Whoe’er thou art, thy Maker fear,
The awful Father of mankind,
The great, and bountiful, and wise
Who made, and rules both earth and skies.

Verse 2
The sovereign Cause and End of all,
Who justly claims his creature’s heart,
On Him with pious reverence call,
From all acknowledg’d ill depart,
And true to thy imperfect light
Do what thy heart approves as right.

Verse 3
While thy religious actions show
The principle of secret grace,
Led by a Friend thou dost not know
In all the paths of righteousness,
Heathen, Mahometan, or Jew,
Thy soul is safe, as God is true!

Verse 4
Surely thou dost ev’n now partake
The grace and favor of thy God,
Accepted for his only sake
Who bought the nations with his blood:
And when he makes thy pardon known,
Thou knowst that God and Christ is One.
