What numbers now are found

Verse 1
What numbers now are found
Who call the Saviour Lord,
Yet never heard the joyful sound,
The reconciling word!
The Christian name they take,
Nor see the way to heaven,
Or know, that God for Jesus sake
Hath all their sins forgiven.

Verse 2
O might they now receive
The word of pardning grace!
Gentiles baptiz’d, in Christ believe,
The world’s Desire embrace,
By faith rejoice to know
The truth of Jesus love,
And gladden all his saints below,
And all his saints above.
