"Amen to all that God hath said" is a hymn on divine holiness and human depravity by Charles Wesley, titled "Unto the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans." It was first published in Hymns and Sacred Poems (1742) in 36 four-line stanzas divided into three parts.
In 1780, John Wesley compiled three distinct centos from the original text for the Wesleyan Hymn Book:
-
"God of unspotted purity," composed of stanzas 3 through 6 and 8 through 11 from Part I.
-
"O let us our own works forsake," composed of stanzas 3 and 8 through 10 from Part II.
-
"Saviour of all, to Thee we bow," composed of stanzas 1 through 6 from Part III.
All three centos entered widespread use across British and American hymnals.
