Acts 15:28: Who then shall needless things impose
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Who then shall needless things impose
Their own authority to prove,
Or make new laws to govern those
That, subject to their Saviour's love,
Deny the Antichristian claim,
And bow to none but Jesus' name?
Authority in things Divine
Belongs to God and God alone:
Whate'er His oracles enjoin
Our only rule of life we own:
Ami rulers by His power are seal'd
To see the laws of Christ fulfill'd.
