A Preaching Précis

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
