Acts 10:11: And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel, &c

The vision doth a church present
Descending from the heavenly place,
Not in a single corner pent,
But taking in the human race!
From all the ends of earth are brought
Poor souls into that boundless sheet,
And by a common Ransom bought
Jews, Heathens, Turks and Christians meet.

Born from above, their heavenly birth
The universal church maintain,
Collected and redeem'd from earth,
Superior to the sons of men;
In Christ their Saviour and their Head
They live the life that never dies,
Inspired, and by His Spirit led
To claim their Father in the skies.
