Religion
Acts 12:13: God passes kings and conquerors by
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
God passes kings and conquerors by,
And lets them in oblivion lie,
But doth to everlasting fame
Consign a simple damsel's name.
Throughout the church He makes it known
That goodness we in all may own,
In saints of every rank approve
Their joyful zeal, and patient love.
