Acts 13: The Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Chosen by God's immediate will,
Seal'd with the Spirit's authentic seal,
He was ordain'd before,
As Christ's ambassador had gone,
And made his Lord to sinners known.
His truth, and love, and power.

Yet lo, the Holy Ghost commands
The elders to lay on their hands,
And recognise His call,
To teach the apostolic way
That preachers may the church obey,
And each be sent by all.
