JESUS, the word bestow,
By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. Acts xix. 20.
      1 JESUS, the word bestow,
      The true immortal seed;
      Thy gospel then shall greatly grow,
      And all our land o'erspread;
      Through earth extended wide
      Shall mightily prevail,
      Destroy the works of self and pride,
      And shake the gates of hell.

      2 Its energy exert
      In the believing soul;
      Diffuse thy grace through every part,
      And sanctify the whole;
      Its utmost virtue show
      In pure consummate love,
      And fill with all thy life below,
      And give us thrones above.
