Acts 13:25: Jesu's every harbinger
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Jesu's every harbinger
Should decrease and disappear,
Should throughout his course below
Only Christ resolve to know,
Only manifest His grace,
Only glory in His praise.
O that like the Bridegroom's friend,
I mine earthly course might end,
Nothing in mine own esteem
Render all the praise to Him,
Live my Lord to testify,
Witnessing of Jesus die.
