Acts 12:6: The keepers before the door kept the prison
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
What could earth and hell do more
Their prisoner to secure?
Let but a short night pass o'er
And Peter's death is sure;
Keepers, guards, and gates surround,
Yet cannot all effectual prove,
While one open way is found
Of rescue — from above.
