Grove Chapel Pulpit Volume 1

In these discourses I have nothing to offer, and no invitations to make. It is mine simply to preach Christ as I know and feel Him to be precious to my own soul, and to the souls of His eternally-loved and dearly-bought people, begging of the Holy Ghost to do His own work, so well expressed in this precious hymn by Joseph Irons: —

"May the Holy Ghost descending,
Crown this message with success;
We are on His power depending,
He, and He alone, can bless, By revealing
Christ the Lord our Righteousness.

We have listen'd to the preacher,
Truth by him has now been shown;
But we want a greater Teacher,
From the everlasting throne.
Application
Is the work of God alone."
