Religion
Acts: Who preach the truth, the gospel-word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Who preach the truth, the gospel-word.
Must no repose expect to know,
To suffer like their patient Lord
Is all their recomp.ence below,
Their suffering is their mission's seal,
They glory in captivity,
If Christ thereby His grace reveal.
And set the' imprison'd spirits free.
