Acts 14: Elders if the church ordain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Elders if the church ordain,
Ministers in things Divii
All should strive the grace to' obtain,
All in prayer and fisting join,
Faithfully approach the throne,
Bring the heavenly blessing down.
Every soul for them should plead,
Who the common burden bear,
Each desire their work may speed
Who for every sinner care,
Men by Christ Himself design'd
Christ to spread through all mankind.
