Death & Dying
Acts 14:20: And the next day he departed, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Death & Dying
When the work and cause of God
No more require his stay,
To the torrent of the crowd
A minister gives way;
Outraged by their fierce despite,
Not obstinate his foes to brave,
So he saves himself by flight,
Immortal souls to save.
