Almighty God Of Love
by Charles Wesley

Album: Hymns 23 - For Believers, Interceding for the World (441-477)


1 ALMIGHTY God of love,
Set up the attracting sign,
And summon whom thou dost approve
For messengers divine;
From favoured Abraham's seed
The new apostles choose,
In isles and continents to spread
The dead-reviving news.

2 Them, snatched out of the flame,
Through every nation send,
The true Messiah to proclaim,
The universal friend;
That all the God unknown
May learn of Jews to adore,
And see thy glory in thy Son,
Till time shall be no more.

3 O that the chosen band
Might now their brethren bring,
And, gathered out of every land,
Present to Zion's King!
Of all the ancient race
Not one be left behind,
But each, impelled by secret grace,
His way to Canaan find.

4 We know it must be done,
For God hath spoke the word:
All Israel shall the Saviour own,
To their first state restored;
Rebuilt by his command,
Jerusalem shall rise;
Her temple on Moriah stand
Again, and touch the skies.

5 Send then thy servants forth,
To call the Hebrews home;
From East, and West, and South, and North,
Let all the wanderers come;
Where'er in lands unknown
The fugitives remain,
Bid every creature help them on,
Thy holy mount to gain.

6 An offering to their God,
There let them all be seen,
Sprinkled with water and with blood,
In soul and body clean;
With Israel's myriads sealed,
Let all the nations meet,
And show the mystery fulfilled,
Thy family complete!

Beautiful hymn...don't think I ever sang this in church. - Feb 2016

Praise the Lord for His servants of yesteryear, who knew and understood the Prophetic Word of God. O Joy! That His people Israel would know their God and King revealed in Messiah Yeshua. - Jan 2016

Bless the Lord! His Word is being fulfilled in our days! O Lord, save Your people! - Jan 2016

this speaks of the return of the Jews to the land given by Almighty God, John and Charles Wesley would be horrified today the way Methodists are against Israel, anti semetic - Jan 2016

this speaks prophetically of the Jews making Alliya, going back to their homeland as foretold in the scriptures, then Jesus will come again - Jan 2016
