Acts 17:10: The brethren immediately sent away Paul, &c

Who trust in His protecting grace,
Nor rash nor negligent,
We use the common means and ways
For our deliverance sent:
Through love and honour of the cross,
The stewards of His word
We dare not prejudice the cause
And interest of our Lord.

Labouring till all our work is done
The middle course we steer,
With equal care and caution shun
Audaciousness and fear:
We neither humble nor presume,
Prepared to stand or fly:
But when the joyful hour is come
We get us up, and die.
