Acts 9:4: The members here and Head above

The members here and Head above,
United in the Spirit of love
One mystic body make,
And Jesus, once a Man of woe
The sufferings of His saints below
Doth still in heaven partake.

Oppress'd we in His Spirit groan;
Our sorrows He accounts His own,
And answers sigh for sigh;
Fighting with God our foes are found.
And touching us, they madly wound
The apple of I lis eye.

Hear this, thou persecutor hear,
And smote from heaven with sudden fear
Before thy Smiter fall;
The madness of resistance find,
And know — the Saviour of mankind
Is rich in grace for all.
