The Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah 2:10
Words: Charles Wesley, Short Hymns (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762), number 1360.
Music: Melita John B. Dykes, in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Him dead and buried we confess,
The storm our sins had raised t’appease,
Three days and nights for us confined;
But lo, emerging from the grave,
He comes, a ransomed world to save,
He preaches life to all mankind!
O that we all His words might hear,
A greater far than Jonah fear,
And live and die, at His command!
Then shall the grave its prey restore,
Raised by His resurrection’s power,
And cast us on the heavenly land.
