Religion
Luke 22: Lord of souls He truly was
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Lord of souls He truly was
Who Himself their servant made,
Bore their sorrows on the cross,
Bow'd beneath their load His head.
Them to serve His life resign'd,
Died the Ransom of mankind.
And shall I His lot refuse,
Greater than my Master be?
Master, I Thy portion choose,
Partner in Thy ministry
Stoop alike to great and small,
Live and die the least of all.
