Acts 19: One door is shut, when God permits

One door is shut, when God permits,
To open a yet wider door;
The preacher then his toil repeats,
With warmer zeal, and fullei power;
Not every week, but every day"
Proclaims the salutary word,
And multitudes the call obey,
And Asia now receives its Lord.

Preachers of Christ, in faith go on,
Nor fear your flock apart to meet,
You, whom self-righteous Jeivs disown.
May find a church in every street;
In synagogues received no more,
Perceive the thing your Lord intends,
Behold the great effectual door,
And Jesus preach, where'er He sends.

Temple, or house, or barn, or school,
(The gospel consecrates the place,)
No matter where, so Jesus rule,
And teach the lessons of His grace;
Though zealots still the way traduce,
And you as schismatics defame,
Go on; convince both Greeks axidjews,
And peace, to all mankind proclaim.
