Religion
Acts 12:25: Having fulfill'd the charge enjoin'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Having fulfill'd the charge enjoin'd,
A minister of grace
Returns with ready zeal, to find
His stated work and place;
Gladly, if God appoint it so,
He deals the outward bread,
But 'tis his chief delight below
Poor hungry souls to feed.
