Verse 1
Who now his work revives
In these apostate days,
Invites professors first, and gives
To you the word of grace:
Into your churches sent
With news of sin forgiven,
We preach the kingdom near; Repent,
Believe, and enter heaven.
If harden’d ye remain,
Refuse by faith to live,
The gift of righteousness disdain
Which God would freely give;
Ye wilfully refuse
The life of glory too:
And know ye grace-rejecting Jews,
There is no heaven for you.

Verse 2
Embolden’d thro’ the Name
Which speaks salvation sure,
Our call we follow, and proclaim
The gospel to the poor;
Repuls’d by you we know,
And guided by, his will,
To the highways and hedges go,
And thus our charge fulfil:
The sons of wickedness
The slaves of open sin,
Outcasts, and vagabonds we press,
And force them to come in:
And lo from sin releast
Heathens obey the call,
Baptis’d, or unbaptiz’d they feast
With Him who died for all.
