Acts 13:1: Happy man with princes bred
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Happy man with princes bred
Who knows his gracious day,
From a court's temptations freed
And clean escaped away!
With the choice of Moses bless'd,
The world he doth for Christ forego,
Suffers with His saints distress'd,
And serves His church below.
