Tune and Hymn: 'All for Jesus'
Acts 15 v. 13-18
*********
At Jerusalem a meeting
To consider of this thing
Gentiles saved as well as the Jews?
Can it be so ,this good news?
James the leader said, You people
Hearken unto me, e'en all
For you have heard Perter saying
How God did the Gentiles bring
How He did bring them salvation
He does visit each nation
And does make Gentiles His people
They do join with the Jews all
For with this the prophets agree
Amos* did say of old, see
That the Lord will return, and will
Build again His dwelling still
It be David's** tabernacle
it is crumbled, it did fall
But the Lord will rebuild ruins
To set it up He begins
That the rest of mankind might seek
After the Lord, strong or weak
And all the Gentiles who called are
Who may come from near or far
They who are called by the Lord's name
For His glory, for His fame
The Lord who does all these things, He
God, knows all eternally
---------
* Old Testament prophet.
** Old Testament King.
