Mark 6:31: A Pastor who o'erlooks the rest
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
A Pastor who o'erlooks the rest
Should for his fellow-labourers care.
Nor tempt the weak, by toils oppress'd,
With burdens more than they can bear;
He should not urge the strong to' exert
Their utmost powers with restless zeal,
But weigh their needs with pitying heart,
And all their nature's weakness feel.
