Acts 6:4: We will give ourselves continually to prayer, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

We live to make the Saviour known,
And bring His gifts and blessings down
On those who Christ obey;
Joyful in this to persevere,
For all the pastor's business here
Is but to preach and pray.

Still let us earthly matters leave,
Ourselves to God entirely give
And to His church below;
Live out a life of prayer and love,
And to our great reward above
In Jesus' footsteps go.
