Matthew 28:20: No preachers of Thy gospel they
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
No preachers of Thy gospel they,
Who teach believe, but not obey;
The faithful servants of their Lord
Enforce Thy every sacred word,
By precept and example press
True, universal righteousness.
Themselves instructed from above
AVho preach the law of faith and love,
Whate'er they at Thy mouth receive
Who freely to Thy people give,
Thy Spirit owns their ministry.
Thy presence proves them sent by Thee.
