Luke 5:16: A Happy instrument of grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
A Happy instrument of grace
Withdraws into the wilderness,
With still-continued care;
The good of precious souls he seeks,
In their behalf to God he speaks,
And pleads for them in prayer.
He muses frequently retired,
That more abundantly inspired
He may his mission prove.
The people serve with holier zeal,
And all his ministry fulfil
In praise of Jesus' love.
