After Preaching

---
Open the hearts of all that hear,
To make their Saviour room,
Now let them find redemption near,
Let faith by hearing come.
Give them to hear the word as thine,
And (while they thus receive)
Prove it the saving power divine,
To sinners that believe.
After Preaching.
Glory, and praise, and love to thee,
For this effectual door,
Jesu! Who publishest by me
The gospel to the poor.
Glory to thy great name alone,
That life and power imparts:
Now, Lord, thy genuine gospel own,
And graft it on their hearts.
Now let them feel the tidings true,
Grant to thy word success;
Water it with thy heavenly dew,
And give the wish’d increase.
