Psalm 122:8: Not for a favourite form, or name
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Not for a favourite form, or name,
But for dear precious souls I care;
Bless, Saviour, owx Jerusalem
That millions may her blessings share.
Prosper our Church, the living few
Employ their brethren dead to raise.
To quicken sister churches too,
And spread throughout the earth Thy praise.
