❤❤❤ Thanks 🎉
Great. I will use this for housegroup. Much better I think than those distracting performances on stage.
Sweet meaningful hymns , always sounding fresh and new encouraging you in every way ♥️
Seeing this last stanza for the first time. Quite interesting! The very foundation of Protestantism.
The United Methodist Hymnal lists all 17 stanzas of Charles Wesley's original poem. So I've seen that stanza, but never have sung it, to my recollection. God bless you!
See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man.
Harlots and publicans and thieves In holy triumph join! Saved is the sinner that believes From crimes as great as mine.
Murderers and all ye hellish crew In holy triumph join! Believe the Savior died for you; For me the Savior died.
The 4th stanza is wrong. Why would Jesus speaks and listen to His voice when He is the very Word manifested in the flesh (John 1:14)?
Do you disagree that Jesus speaks and the dead receive new life listening to his voice? That stanza is partly based on John 5:25.
It is a Wesleyan hymn after all!
The normal order of the words is changed to fit the verse structure, which unfortunately makes it harder to understand without reading closely. In a normal sentence it would read something like: He [Jesus] speaks and the dead receive new life by listening to His voice.
Jesus said, "Lazarus, come forth!" out loud. So yes, He does speak, and the dead hear him and receive new life. And even if it isn't audible to living humans, it's clearly audible to those in their graves. His Spirit also speaks to our hearts. So I don't think it's wrong at all. Flesh speaks to flesh and His Spirit speaks to our spirits. God bless you!
@@amyk6659 That's not what the 4th stanza says. There's no direct reference to the words God wrote either. No wonder the apostate church is so bad you can't tell them from the rest of the world. To suggest that the dead hear him and receive him when most of them are now lost and are in burning hell is not based on the word of God whatsoever.
