John 21:10: Should we not on our labour live
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Should we not on our labour live,
Sufficient sustenance receive
Who minister the word?
Should we not seek the souls of men,
And whom our happy labours gain,
Present unto the Lord?
Master, they are not ours but Thine,
Caught in the net of love Divine,
The captives of Thy grace
A willing multitude receive;
And while their joyful hearts believe,
Their mouth shall speak Thy praise.
