Religion
Acts 19:1: Pastors, who live at ease
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Pastors, who live at ease
Without reproach or care
Preachers like Paul, with his,
Your services compare,
Your sloth with his extensive zeal,
And self-condemn'd the difference feel.
While the succession true
As wholly yours ye claim,
The' apostles' steps pursue,
The toil, the pain, the shame,
Their portion upon earth receive,
And only for your Master live.
