Acts 12:23: And gave up the ghost
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Peter between the soldiers bound,
Ready for instant death, is freed;
Herod, amidst his courtiers crown'd
Extoll'd, and worshipp'd— is struck dead!
The hand Divine in both is seen,
That saints may all from Him receive,
And heathens know themselves but men,
And all to God His glory give.
