Death & Dying
Acts 12:17: And he departed, and went into another place
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Death & Dying
Out of the dungeon brought,
Through reason's light alone
The' ambassador of Christ is taught
His furious foes to shun;
The man of prudent zeal
Withdraws out of their sight,
And when preserved by miracle
Preserves himself by flight.
