Religion
Acts 9:16: Great things ordain 'd for Thee to do
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Great things ordain 'd for Thee to do,
Thou dost our souls prepare
By labouring strength, and patience too
Great things for Thee to bear;
Afflictions with Thy grace abound,
And make Thy favourites known,
And those who suffer most are found
The nearest to Thy throne.
