Religion
Acts 10:7: A devout soldier
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
How can it be? A soldier good!
A man of war whose trade is blood!
The' impossibility
Is clone by an almighty Lord:
And still in some who use the sword
We true religion see.
Mercy lias ways to find them out,
To make the worst of men devout:
And when a soldier trusts
His soul into those hands Divine,
Listed beneath ImmanueTs sign
He serves the Lord of Hosts.
