Religion
Mark 1:37, 38: An humble instrument of God
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
An humble instrument of God,
Whom all men seek, esteem, applaud.
Their praises casts behind.
Far as his ministry permits
Into the wilderness retreats,
And flies from all mankind.
Glad to be hid, unknown, obscure.
Servant and preacher to the poor.
He leaves the wilderness;
To sinners rich the poor prefers,
Chief object of their Saviour's cares
And His expiring grace.
