Acts 16:40: And entered into the house of Lydia: and, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Never weary of well doing,
Never faint with braving ill,
Jesus' saints their work pursuing,
Faithful and laborious still,
Share the mighty consolation
With their sympathising friends,
Largest earnest of salvation,
Glorious joy that never ends.
Give us Lord like them to' inherit
Thy benevolence of mind,
Peace and quietness of spirit,
Fervent love and unconfined,
Arm us with Thy perfect patience
Till we have the world o'ercome,
Pass'd through all our tribulations,
Reach'd our everlasting home.
