Tune: Abbots Leigh
(\'Glorious things of thee are spoken\')
Acts 10 v.38-43
***********
Peter preached in Caesarea
It was Gentile area
Saying, God anointed Jesus
Come to earth, Saviour for us
With the Spirit and with power
He anointed, served each hour
Went about doing good, healing
Oppressions [that] the devil did bring
For God was with Him, and he willed
To do His will, to it yield
Peter and others were witness
Of Christ\'s death, and they knew this
That the people Him crucified
That He suffered, bled, and died
But God did Him raise the third day
Now alive, He lives alway
Though not show then to everyone
But to witnesses begun
Was He revealed, God had chosen
Some to eat, drink with Him then
After He had risen from dead
By His command they were led
To preach to people, tesitfy
That His presence is sure nigh
To preach that He of God ordained
Was, to be Judge, they explained
Judge of the dead and the living
And forgiveness He does bring
To whoever in Him believes
Each eternal life receives
Sins forgiven all through His name
Worthy name of endless fame
