Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXIX (1766) Topics: Success of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Christ and his Cross is all our Theme;
The Myst'ries that we speak
Are Scandal in the Jews Esteem,
And Folly to the Greek.
2 But Souls enlightened from above,
With Joy receive the Word;
They see what Wisdom, Pow'r, and Love,
Shine in their dying Lord.
3 The vital Savour of his Name
Restores their fainting Breath;
But Unbelief perverts the same
To Guilt, Despair, and Death.
4 Till God diffuse his Graces down,
Like Show'rs of heav'nly Rain,
In vain Apollos sows the Ground,
And Paul may plant in vain. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 Languages: English
