Methodist-Hymns-248
1: JESU, the word bestow,
The true immortal seed ;
Thy gospel then shall greatly grow,
And all our land o’erspread ;
2: Through earth extended wide
Shall mightily prevail,
Destroy the works of self and pride,
And shake the gates of hell.
3: Its energy exert
In the believing soul;
Diffuse Thy grace through every part,
And sanctify the whole;
4: Its utmost virtue show
In pure consummate love,
And fill with- all Thy life below,
And give us Thrones above. Amen.
