Acts 10:5: The angel might have preach'd his Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
The angel might have preach'd his Lord,
Or Christ proclaim'd Himself from heaven,
But God, to magnify His word,
The' appointed means of sins forgiven,
Commands a pious soul to hear
The gospel from His messenger.
The angel from Jehovah sent,
But points him out the common road,
Directs to Jesu's instrument,
That man may preach a dying God:
And then the Lord His Son reveals,
And pardon by His Spirit seals.
