Acts 6:5: And the saying pleased the whole multitude
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
When superior pastors show
Their humble zeal and love,
In the' apostles' footsteps go,
The church their deed approve:
When of worldly honours proud
Their state and grandeur they maintain,
Irksome both to man and God
The lordly tyrants reign.
