Acts 18: Having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Not through vile hypocrisy,
Not through superstition vain;
With kvz Jews a Jew is he
Jews in Jesus' cause to gain,
With indifferent things complies,
Wise, for their salvation, wise.
O that I like him could stoop,
By my condescending love
Lift the souls of sinners up,
Turn them to their Friend above,
All things unto all become
Instrument of saving some!
