The Stennetts of England - Samuel Stennett D.D. - Hymn Poems

And will the offended God again

And will the offended God again
Return, and dwell with sinful man?
Will he within this bosom raise
A living temple to his praise?

The joyful news transports my breast;
All hail I cry, thou heav'nly guest!
Lift up your heads, ye pow'rs within,
And let the King of Glory in.

Enter, with all thy heavenly train!
Here live, and here for ever reign!
Thy sceptre o'er my passions sway
Let love command, and I'll obey.

Reason and conscience shall submit,
And pay their homage at thy feet;
To thee I'll consecrate my heart,
And bid each rival thence depart.

No idol-god shall hold a place
Within this temple of thy grace;
Dagon before the ark shall fall,
And God in Christ be all in all.
