Evangelical Preacher

By Bishop Mant

SAY, what is Gospel-preaching? ’Tis to show How from his Father’s love by wilful deed Man fell; and how, for ransomed man to bleed, The Son of God took in this world of wo Our flesh, and quelled by death our natural foe; And what His Spirit’s aid; and whither lead His laws; His means of grace; and what the need Of faith, matured by love; and what we owe The Three in One! This knowledge, passing reach Of man’s device or angel’s, broad and deep, God by His Son delivered; this to teach Mankind, He charged the shepherds of His sheep: If man or angel other Gospel preach, He “sows the wind, and shall the whirlwind reap.” — Bishop Mant.
