Acts 15:41: He went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming, &c

Religion

He lost his ancient colleague's aid,
But Jesus left him not alone,
Himself with I lis apostle stay'd,
His all-sufficient grace made known;
And lo, with double power endow'd
He flies to build the church of God.

Lord of the gospel-harvest, give
Such labourers now Thy church to raise,
That saints entirely Thine may live,
Stablish'd in truth and righteousness,
Strong in the faith which cannot move,
Sunk in the lowest depths of love.
