Mark 10:44: An apostolic prelate hopes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
An apostolic prelate hopes
For no preferment here,
To every cross and burden stoops.
The church's minister;
He strives with unremitted pain
In Jesus' steps to move,
He labours all the heights to' attain,
And depths of humble love.
