Acts 8:1: Except the apostles

Unmoved the pillars stand,
For God ordains it so,
Supported by their Saviour's hand
They prop His house below j
Against the furious storm
They turn their steady face:
And we can all tilings now perform
Through His Almighty grace.

In this degenerate age
If persecution roar,
A few shall stand the utmost rage
Of earthly, hellish power.
And whom the Lord shall choose
For Satan to disperse
Shall fly, and spread the joyful news
Throughout the universe.
