Acts 1:24, 25: Teacher of hearts, 'tis Thine alone
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Teacher of hearts, 'tis Thine alone
Thine officers to' ordain,
Point out Thy instruments, unknown
To undiscerning men;
Our apostolic guides apprize
Of Thine unseen decree,
And stir them up to recognize
The men design'd by Thee.
The men whom Thou hast inly moved
Their charge to undertake,
And toil for precious souls, beloved
For their Redeemer's sake;
Thy chosen ministers reveal
With whom Thou always art.
And then their saving gospel seal
On every listening heart.
